I40 Stone, Summer Birds of Pine Barrens of N. J. \^\\ 



70. Dendroica aestiva. Yellow Warbler. — Rather common in many 

 localities, mostly along the large streams. 



71. Dendroica vigorsii. Pine Warbler. — Very common wherever the 

 taller pines are to be found. 



72. Dendroica discolor. Prairie Warbler. — Very common through- 

 out the low scrub barrens. 



73. Seiurus aurocapillus. Oven-bird. — Common. 



74. Geothlypis trichas. Maryland Yellow-throat. — Very common. 



75. Icteria virens. Yellow-breasted Chat. — Not common. 



76. Sylvania mitrata. Hooded Warbler. — In all the dark cedar 

 swamps this species is to be found, and its note is one of the most familiar 

 sounds. In Cape May County it is especially abundant. 



77. Setophaga ruticilla. Redstart. — Messrs. Reed and Wilde secured 

 nests of this species in Cape May County, but it is not generally distributed. 



78. Mimus polyglottos. Mockingbird. — I secured a specimen of this 

 bird at Cape May Point, August 27, 1891, which was still in the worn 

 breeding plumage, so that it seems probable that it nested in the vicinity. 

 The species is reported to still breed near Tuckerton occasionally, but I 

 have been unable to get any definite information on the subject. It is 

 certainly very rare in New Jersey. 



79. Galeoscoptes carolinensis. Catbird. — Common. 



80. Harporhynchus rufus. Brown Thrasher. — Common. 



Si. Thryothorus ludovicianus. Carolina Wren. — Rather common. 



82. Troglodytes aedon. House Wren. — Not very common; only 

 seen about houses. 



83. Cistothorus palustris. Long-billed Marsh Wren. — This species, 

 which is mostly restricted to tide water swamps, follows the course of the 

 larger streams for some distance back into the Pine Barrens, and I have 

 found it breeding a mile above May's Landing in a swamp which borders 

 the dam on the Egg Harbor River at this point. 



84. Sitta carolinensis. White-bellied Nuthatch. — Tolerably com- 

 mon. 



55. Parus bicolor. Tufted Titmouse. — Not very common. 



56. Parus carolinensis. Carolina Chickadee. — Very common 

 throughout the Pine Barrens. 



87. Polioptila caerulea. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. — Mr. W. L. Baily 

 has taken the nest of this species at Bridgeton, and Messrs. I. N. Dellaven 

 and C. A. Voelker have obtained specimens respectively at Atlantic 

 City and Dennisville during spring. It is, however, of decidedly rare 

 occurrence. 



88. Turdus mustelinus. Wood Thrush. — Not common, and confined 

 to the dense cedar swamps. 



89. Merula migratoria. Robin. — Common. 



90. Sialia sialis. Bluebird. — Tolerably common. «
