428 Jewel, North American Birds .-. Pemanta. ljuly 



57. Piranga erythromelas. Scarlet Tanager. Have Been but 

 one, March 16, 191 1. 



59. Progne chalybea. Gray-breasted Martin. A common resi- 

 dent. Breeds in holes in trees and has also learned to nesl within the iron 

 ridge rolls of corrugated iron root's. 



o!>. Hirundo erythrogastra. Barm Sw u low . This bird is abun- 

 dant in both fall ami spring but rare in mid-winter. My oarliost record is 

 August 23, 1911. Within a week they were abundant and were seen daily 

 until December 5, when they rapidly disappeared. January and February 

 are without a record. On March 17 they reappeared to become again com- 

 mon tor six weeks or perhaps less. My last record for 1912, is May 26, 

 when I recorded several. On May 30, 1911, I shot one from a flock of 

 Iridoprocne albUinea. It will thus be soon that their local schedule is 

 roughly three months on, anil three months off passing twice in the year. 



tit) Riparia riparia. Bank Swallow.- Fairly common for two 

 months in the fall, but much loss so in the spring. My oarliost record is 

 September 23, 1911, and the latest is November 30, 1911, except a small 

 flight on February 22, 1912. 



61. Mniotilta varia. Black ind White Warbler. One specimen 

 of this species was taken on March 26, 1911, the only one I have seen. 

 [1 was with one Redstarl and several Yellow Warblers. 



62. Protonotaria citrea. Prothonotari Warbler, My oarliost 

 record for this beautiful species i-^ October l. 1911. It was occasionally 

 soon until in lato November, but I have no December record. The last 

 dato is January 29. 



63. Vermivora chrysoptera Golden-winger Warbler. A very 

 rare visitor in my experience. My only certain record is March 10. 1911. 



64. Dendroica restiva aestiva. Yellow Warbler. -By far the 

 most abundant representative of the family here. 1 have one female 

 taken August 29, 1911, and one taken August is. 1912. From late Septem- 

 ber until the end o\ the year, I found them common. They are less so 

 in January and February, but are again common in March. My last 

 record is May 12, 1912. Thus one year's record shows an entire absence 

 of this spooios oi but little more than three months. Before the last 

 birds leave this latitude for their breeding range, the first ones are in Nova 

 Scotia, Manitoba anil British Columbia. 



65 Dendroica pensylvanica. Chestnut-sided Warbler.— This 

 spooios is not rare here during the winter months. My oarliost record is 

 November 26 and the last is March 31. 



66 Dendroica castanea. Bat-breasted Warbler.— This is not a 

 rare migrant in November and December. My earliest record is November 

 3, 1911, and my last is January 1. 1912. 



t»7. Seiurus aurocapillus. On November 26, 1911, while hunting in a 

 thicket near Gatun, I hoard the familiar call-note oi this bird. I answered 

 and called the bird to mo. Have soon no other than this specimen. 



68. Seiurus noveboracensis noveboracensis Water-Thrush. —
