V °s X 1 Todd, Birds of Indiana and Clearfield Counties, Pa. zj.1 



Dendroica caerulea. — Much to my surprise I found the Cerulean War- 

 bler quite common, and musical, in the dry, open, oak woods of the up- 

 lands, though the only specimen secured was taken in a tract of dense 

 second-growth on a creek hillside. 



Dendroica pensylvanica. — Only two individuals noted, both males in 

 full song, observed in a scrubby patch of briers, bushes and young trees, 

 fringing a forest, on a creek hillside. I have reason to believe that this 

 species was more common than it appeared to be. 



Dendroica blackburniae.— Another of the relatively northern species 

 found exclusively in the conifers of the creek bottoms, where its flaming 

 breast flashed in and out of the hemlocks. Not quite so numerous, how- 

 ever, as D. c&rulescens and D. maculosa. 



Dendroica virens. — This bird would be expected to occur most com- 

 monly in the hemlock forest, and though it actually was found on the 

 edges of this to some extent, I was not a little surprised to discover that 

 it was more numerous throughout the high oak and chestnut woods that 

 cover Chestnut Ridge from base to summit, always keeping high in the 

 treetops. 



Seiurus aurocapillus.— A very common species, found throughout al 

 kinds of woodland. 



Seiurus motacilla. — A single pair recorded as frequenting a small 

 stream flowing through the laurel and rhododendron growth in the hem- 

 lock forest of Yellow Creek bottom. 



Geothlypis trichas. — Quite common, at intervals, in the waste ground 

 along the banks of Two Lick Creek. 



Icteria virens. — A few pairs of this distinctly southern species were 

 noticed in the thickets to which it is always so partial. 



Galeoscoptes carolinensis. — Common in briery thickets. 



Harporhynchus rufus. — One pair accompanied by their young were 

 seen in a thicket. 



Sitta carolinensis. — Rather common throughout the woodland. 



Parus bicolor. — A pair observed on one occasion in a yard around a 

 dwelling. 



Parus atricapillus. — Two noticed with the pair of Tufted Titmice above 

 mentioned, and later on a pair accompanied by their now almost fully- 

 fledged young. 



Turdus mustelinus. — Common throughout the woodland. 



Merula migratoria. — Abundant as usual. 



Sialia sialis. — Several observed in an upland pasture on one occasion. 



Clearfield County lies to the northeast of Indiana County, 

 which it borders on the west to some extent. As a whole its 

 elevation is greater, everywhere being above 1500 feet, and over 

 a considerable area more than 2000 feet, this latter region includ- 

 ing the Alleghany Mountains on the extreme southeastern part of 

 the County and the somewhat less elevated portion lying immedi-
