V ,g^ 3 X ] Wayne on Birds of the Su-wanee River. 337 



species which I observed during the month of March, were not 

 recorded by Messrs. Brewster and Chapman. 



Tantalus loculator. 



Aramus giganteus. — Common all along the Suwanee. From Santa 

 Fe Creek to Week's landing, fifteen miles from the Gulf, I found this 

 species actually common. It breeds in March. 



Totanus flavipes. <• 



^Lgialitis vocifera. — Common resident. 



Colinus virginianus floridanus. — I found the Quail very abundant at 

 Branford, and throughout the forests bordering the river. 



Accipiter cooperi. — Breeds. A common species, even in June, when 

 it was the terror of the poultry yard. 



Falco sparverius. — A common resident. 



Megascops asio floridanus. — Resident. All I examined were in the 

 red phase. 



Antrostomus vociferus. — I shot a single individual on March 16, but 

 it was badly mutilated and only the tail feathers were preserved. The 

 keeper of the hotel who is very familiar with this bird, told me he heard 

 its note every spring at Branford. 



Zonotrichia albicollis. 



Spizella socialis. 



Spizella pusilla. 



Certhia familiaris americana. — The Brown Creeper was common from 

 March 10 to 20, inclusive. 



The first week in April I left Branford and went to Old Town, 

 sixty miles down the river, where I remained until the first week 

 in August. I visited Old Town again in February, 1893, and 

 remained until the last week in May. I give here a list of the 

 birds I observed which have not been recorded from this region, 

 with dates of arrival. 



Pelecanus erythrorhynchos. — This is a common species on the Gulf, 

 near the mouth of the river, where they congregate in vast numbers. It 

 remains until the middle of May. 



Fregata aquila. — Occasionally seen flying very high over the river just 

 before a storm. Also seen at 'Fishbone.' 



Botaurus lentiginosus. — One bird noted March 3, 1893. 



Ionornis martinica. — April S (1892). Breeds. 



Gallinula galeata. — April 10 (1892). 



Ictinia mississippiensis. — April 20 (1892). 



Coccyzus americanus. — A common species. Breeds in May. 



Chordeiles virginianus chapmani. — April 5 (1892).
