158 Williams, Birds of Leon County, Fla. [April 



169. Dendroica blackburnise. Blackburnian Warbler. — I am 

 glad to be able to add this lovely species to the list of the birds of the county. 

 On the morning of Oct. 26 I heard the monosyllabic notes of a number of 

 birds that were passing rapidly from tree to tree in Lively's woods. I be- 

 gan the chase and after some difficulty succeeded in collecting two of the 

 birds. They were Tennessee Warblers. A third shot into the bunch 

 brought down a very pretty male Blackburnian Warbler. My only record. 



Dendroica dominica. Yellow-trhoated Warbler. — Additional 

 notes made in the fall of 1904 establish the constant residence of this species 

 in the county, though the bulk of them moves further south in winter. 



170. Dendroica virens. Black-throated Green Warbler. — I 

 added this species to the list of the birds of the county on Oct. 12, 1904, 

 when I collected a fine adult male in Lively's woods and on the following 

 day, another. Have no further records. 



Dendroica palmarum. Palm Warbler.— First of season seen Oct. 

 16. Found them common on March 12, 1905, feeding on the ground in the 

 pasture in company with Yellow Palm and Myrtle Warblers. I think these 

 were birds passing through from the south. 



Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea. Yellow Palm Warbler. — As 

 the preceding and this bird are almost inseparable in our county, what is 

 said of the former applies in most cases to the latter. Except in the dead 

 of winter I always find them together. 



Seiurus aurocapillus. Ovenbird. — Can now record the bird as a fall 

 migrant. First seen Aug. 17, 1904, in Lively's woods. There were several. 

 On Oct. 2, I again saw them and followed this by a record for Oct. 9, when 

 they were fairly common. No more were seen. 



171. Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis. Grinnell Water Thrush. 

 — The birds collected during the fall of 1904 are pronounced by Dr. Bishop 

 to be of this subspecies. Late in the evening of Sept. 13, while lingering 

 on the edge of the marsh of McDougall's swamp, lost in the quiet splendor 

 of a day rapidly waning, my attention was attracted by several small, dark 

 colored birds that now and again passed from the edge of the marsh near 

 me to the tall trees of an adjoining field and returned, as something seemed 

 to disturb them. After considerable difficulty I succeeded in collecting 

 one, a male. On the 24th I collected another in Lively's woods. Last 

 seen Oct. 10. They were fairly common in the pasture and Lively's woods 

 from the first record to the last. 



Seiurus motacilla. Louisiana Water Thrush. — Collected one on 

 August 29. They were never abundant and the last were seen on Sept. 18. 



172. Oporornis formosa. Kentucky Warbler. — Met with this 

 bird for the first time in the county on Sept. 4, 1904, when I was walking 

 along the public road leading down past McDougall's swamp. It was in 

 the bushes on the side of the road. Later in the day, and five miles in an- 

 other direction, I found two feeding in the tall weeds bordering a dense 

 woodland. On the 11th another was seen, and on the 18th I collected a 

 fine male on our plantation five miles from town. This was the last seen..
