44 Todd, Birds of Indiana and Clearfield Counties, Pa. I Jan. 



Bonasa umbellus. — Only one individual seen; found in the second- 

 growth. 



Zenaidura macroura. — Common in the open, especially near houses. 

 Accipiter velox. — One, which from its actions doubtless had young near 

 by, was seen on the edge of a dense coniferous forest. 



Accipiter cooped. — A single pair, also evidently with young, were the 

 onlv ones observed. 



Dryobates villosus. — Several seen in the timber. 

 Dryobates pubescens. — Not uncommon in the woodland. 

 Melanerpes erythrocephalus. — But one bird noted. 

 Colaptes auratus. — Numerous everywhere except in the deep woods. 

 Antrostomus vociferus. — Numbers heard every night. 

 Chordeiles virginianus. — A few observed on one occasion. 

 Chaetura pelagica. — Quite common. 

 Trochiluscolubris. — Seen but once. 



Tyrannus tyrannus. — A pair had a nest in one of the trees near the 

 house where I was staying. 



Myiarchus crinitus. — Not common; one pair was observed, whose 

 nest was in the top of a tall forest tree. 



Sayornis phcebe. — A single individual was met with near a house on 

 the outskirts of the town. 



Confopus virens. — Rather common, numbers being seen daily, mostly 

 on the edge of the woods. 



Empidonax minimus. — One pair observed in the trees near the house, 

 in one of which they must have had a nest. 



Cyanocitta cristata. — Frequently noticed in the woodland, and some- 

 times about houses. 



Corvus americanus. — A very common species almost everywhere. 

 Sturnella magna. — Quite common in the open fields, where it was 

 found daily. 



Icterus galbula. — This species, although not actually observed by me, 

 is yet entitled to a place on the list from the fact that I was shown, for 

 identification, an example of its nest which had been taken a few years 

 before and preserved as a great and rare curiosity for this part of the 

 country. 



Spinus tristis. — Seen on only one occasion, — though perhaps more 

 common than was apparent. 



Poocaetes gramineus. — Found commonly in its usual haunts. 

 Spizella socialis. — Abundant throughout the open. 



Junco hyemalis. — This species I found at intervals throughout the 

 forest, and in some places it was fairly abundant. Its favorite haunts were 

 the edges of woods, tracts of scrub, and rich second-growth woods, though 

 some were detected in the depths of the original hemlock and pine forest, 

 where they were usually found hopping about on the ground. In other 

 situations it was the rule to find the males perched in the very tops of 

 some tall tree which had been left standing, singing for hours at a time. 

 Although so common, various circumstances unfortunately conspired to
