Sot I Todd, Birds of Indiana and Clearfield Counties, Pa. 1Q 



Meleagris gallopavo. — On the last day of my stay a Wild Turkey hen, 

 accompanied by three young less than a week old, appeared near the house 

 where I was staying. It is quite possible that there were more young, 

 but these were all that could be found. They were captured and taken 

 into the barn, with the object of decoying the parent inside and capturing 

 her also. She refused to enter, however, but presently flew to the roof, 

 and afterwards lingered about for some time, and doubtless was in the 

 vicinity when I arrived upon the scene, but I was prevented from making 

 a careful search by lack of time. I was informed that Wild Turkeys were 

 tolerably common in this county, and did considerable damage in the 

 grain fields; on several occasions nests with eggs are said to have been 

 found. 



Zenaidura macroura. — Common everywhere, except in the deep woods. 



Accipiter velox. — One observed near the summit of Chestnut Ridge. 



Buteo borealis. — A pair seen circling over the summit of Chestnut 

 Ridge. 



Coccyzus americanus. — Observed but twice. 



Ceryle alcyon. — Found along Yellow Creek on one occasion. From 

 the lack of banks suitable for nesting purposes I should judge that it was 

 not numerous. 



Dryobates pubescens. — Found in the forest. 



Melanerpes erythrocephalus. — One individual noticed in the upland, 

 between Two Lick and Homer City. 



Antrostomus vociferus. — Several were heard. 



Chaetura pelagica — Seen but once. 



Trochilus colubris. — An individual observed along Two Lick Creek, at 

 the village. 



Tyrannus tyrannus. — Common. Found in orchards and at some points 

 along the streams. 



Myiarchus crinitus. — Not common. 



Sayornis phcebe. — Common. 



Contopus virens. — Common in the deciduous forest. 



Empidonax acadicus. — This species was fairly abundant throughout 

 the forests of the creek bottoms and was often found higher up along the 

 courses of smaller streams. 



Empidonax minimus. — A single pair was observed in the trees sur- 

 rounding the house where I was staying. 



Cyanocitta cristata. — A few observed. 



Corvus americanus. — Abundant. 



Molothrus ater. — A small party was noticed in an upland pasture 

 between Two Lick and Homer City. 



Agelaius phceniceus. — Found commonly in and about the upland 

 meadows and streams. 



Sturnella magna. — Not uncommon in the upland. 



Icterus galbula. — Two or three were found in orchards about houses. 



Quiscalus quiscula aeneus. — Found in the same situations as the last 

 species, but more common.
