•84. Compsothlypis americana americana. Parula Warbler. — 

 Abundant and nests in early April in the cypress swamps. 



*85. Dendroica vigorsi. Pine Warbler. — Common, nesting in early 

 March in the highest pines in a bunch of the pendant Florida Long Moss. 



*86. Geothlypis trichas ignota. Florida Yellow-throat. — Very 

 abundant around lakes and swamps and nests in late April and early May. 



*87. Dendroica discolor. Prairie Warbler. - Not common, nest- 

 ing in late April. 



*88. Mimus polyglottos polyglottos. Mockingbird. — Abundant, 

 resident, nesting from March to August. 



*89. Dumetella carolinensis. Catbird. — Common winter resi- 

 dent, but a rare breeder. Nests about, April 15. 



*90. Toxostoma rufum. Brown Thrasher. — Common winter 

 resident and breeds in small numbers about April 1G. 



*91. Thryothorus ludovicianus miamensis. Florida Wren. — 

 Abundant and bred here in great numbers until past two years, when, 

 for some cause, they moved further south. Still common, however. 

 Nests from March to July and rears two or more broods. One set of eggs 

 I collected at Micanopy are typical eggs of the Carolina Wren, and the 

 bird as seen at very close range I took to be the Carolina Wren. I note, 

 however, that Mr. Ridgway regards all our county birds as the Florida 

 Wren and Mr. Stone also assures me that the Carolina Wren does not nest 

 in Florida. 



92. Sitta carolinensis atkinsi. Florida White-breasted Nut- 

 hatch. — Rare; breeds here in early March in small numbers. 



93. Sitta pusilla Brown-headed Nuthatch. — Abundant and 

 breeds from February to May, usually rearing two broods.

 from early February until April. 



*95. Penthestes carolinensis. Carolina Chickadee. — Common 

 breeder from early February until June.

 Common resilient and breeds in early April. 



*97. Sialia sialis sialis. Bluebird. — Common resident and nests 

 from March to June. 



98. Passer domesticus. English Sparrow.— This pernicious nui- 

 sance is abundant over the entire countv.
