mon in the bottoms; the Chimney Swift is common; the Hum- 

 mingbird is rare; the Kingbird, Crested Flycatcher, and Wood 

 Pewee are all common, nesting in various situations; the Green- 

 crested Flycatcher nests in the broad-leafed growths in the bottoms ; 

 the Orchard Oriole is found about homes and farms; the Summer 

 Tanager is common and uniformly distributed; the Purple Martin 

 is common ; the Red-eyed Vireo is common and restricted to broad- 

 leafed growths; the White-eyed Vireo frequents the undergrowth; 

 the Prothonotary Warbler is rather common, as are also the Parula, 

 Kentucky, and Hooded Warblers; few favorable situations for 

 the Sycamore Warbler occur; the Wood Thrush is distributed 

 rather irregularly and is never very common as a nester. 



In addition to the resident species previously mentioned in 

 connection with the delta region are the following not found there : 

 Wild Turkey; Cooper's Hawk (?); Sharp-shinned Hawk (?); 

 Chipping Sparrow (uncommon in summer); Brown Thrasher; 

 White-breasted Nuthatch. 



There is little doubt that of the summer visitors to the delta 

 region, the Warbling Vireo is entirely absent in the pine flats region ; 

 the Painted Bunting is rare; while it is doubtful whether the 

 Purple Grackle, Field Sparrow, and Dickcissel breed in the pine 

 flats region. Other species breeding freely in the delta region have 

 a more restricted summer range in the pine flats region; the Red- 

 winged Blackbird is unusual except on the coast of Mississippi 

 and along the rivers; the Florida Grackle is local and never very 

 common ; the Boat-tailed Grackle is found chiefly along the coast of 

 Mississippi; the Florida Yellow-throat finds suitable situations 

 chiefly on the coast of Mississippi and along the rivers; the Long- 

 billed Marsh Wren occurs chiefly along the coast of Mississippi. 



The course of the migrations in the pine region is much less 

 erratic than in the delta region; exclusively transient forms are 

 decidedly commoner in spring, and in fall likewise, there is a greater 

 variety of steadily common transient species than in the delta 

 region; in all cases, however, the species occurring as transients 

 are much the same as in the delta region. When present these 

 transients resort chiefly to the broad-leafed growths. Of the 

 species decidedly more common in the pine regions during the 

 migrations than in the delta region, the following should be espe-
