498 Williams, Birds of Leon Co., Florida. Loct. 



bent upon reaching some far away point without delay. Between this 

 date and March 2 when I left for Washington, no others were seen. 



Vermivora celata celata. Orange-crowned Warbler. — Observa- 

 tions since my article of April 1906, establish this bird as a winter resident 

 in the county. For several winters one was constantly to be seen, or its 

 strong, unmistakable call note heard, in our yard. Frequently there were 

 two on the premises. The earliest record I have of its fall arrival is Novem- 

 ber 12 (1905), but it undoubtedly reaches the county regularly at an earlier 

 date. 



Compsothlypsis americana americana. Parula Warbler. — 

 Although I have never found a nest of this bird in the county, there is no 

 doubt but that it is a summer resident in limited numbers. Several were 

 singing sweetly in our yard on April 22, 1911. 



Dendroica magnolia. Magnolia Warbler.— This species is a 

 regular fall migrant through the county, but in limited numbers. I saw a 

 handsome male in our yard on October 8, 1911. I have no spring records 

 but suspect it passes through the county at this season. 



Dendroica striata. Black-poll Warbler. — I have heretofore re- 

 corded this bird as a fall migrant in the county. It also occurs in the spring 

 migration, but the bulk of them passes over without stopping. My only 

 spring record is of a single male seen on April 25, 1911, in a pecan tree in 

 the rear of the First National Bank premises. 



Sitta carolinensis carolinensis. White-breasted Nuthatch. — 

 This is a winter resident in the countj', but not common. I saw one in a 

 pine tree at Woodville on December 3, 1911. 



Hylocichla mustelina. Wood Thrush.— In my first article I re- 

 corded this bird as a rare migrant in spring. I have since learned that it 

 also is a rare migrant in fall. On October 8, 1911, I saw one in our yard in 

 Tallahassee. It was quite disturbed about something as was evidenced by 

 its nervous movements and frequent notes of alarm so familiar to me in 

 the District of Columbia where it is a common summer resident and, in the 

 estimation of many, the sweetest songster there. On the 14th I saw another 

 in our yard.
