VOl i9^6 CIH ] Allison, The Winter Birds of Hancock Co., Miss. 47 



49. Thryothorus ludovicianus. Carolina Wren. — Very common. 



50. Thryomans bewickii. Bewick's Wren. — Noted twice. 



51. Troglodytes aedon. House Wren. — Not common. 



52. Cistothorus stellaris. Short-billed Marsh Wren. — Not un- 

 common. 



53. Sitta carolinensis. White-breasted Nuthatch.— Very con- 

 spicuous; we saw it in company with Bluebirds and Pine and Yellow 

 Palm Warblers, even feeding with them on the ground, in one instance. 



54. Sitta pusilla. Brown-headed Nuthatch. — Abundant among 

 the pines. 



55. Bseolophus bicolor. Tufted Titmouse. — Very common. 



56. Parus carolinensis. Carolina Chickadee. — Common. 



57. Regulus satrapa. Golden-crowned Kinglet. — Common; the 

 characteristic kinglet of the conifers. 



58. Regulus calendula. Ruby-crowned Kinglet. — Less common 

 than the preceding. 



59. Hylocichla aonalaschkae pallasii. Hermit Thrush. — Common 

 in low thickets; almost unknown here for a few years after the snow of 

 1895, this bird has again become as common as ever. 



60. Merula migratoria. American Robin. — Over great tracts of 

 young pine, cleared land, and burnt forest, we often walked, seeing hardly 

 any birds but these; they flushed before us at almost every step, and soon 

 became an important feature of the landscape. 



61. Sialia sialis. Bluebird. — Very common, and in fine song.
