460 RAMBLES ABOUT HOME. 



Mourning Warbler. Geothlypis Philadelphia. 



I have seen but the one specimen of this warbler, to recognize 

 it. A friend, who has carefully studied our warblers, reports it as 

 " not uncommon in April and May." 



Yellow-breasted Chat. Icteria virens. 

 Very abundant as a summer resident. 



Hooded Warbler. Myiodioctes mitratus. 



Very variable as to numbers. Dr. Turnbull speaks of it as 

 " rather rare." 



Green Fly-catcher. Myiodioctes pusillus. 



"This bird appears early in May, and again in October, and is 

 rather abundant " (Turnbull). 



My impression is that they are also, to a certain extent, summer 

 residents, and presumably breed here. 



Canada Fly-catcher. Myiodioctes Canadensis. 



" Frequent from the end of April to October " (Turnbull). 



Redstart. Setophaga ruticilla. 

 Abundant. A summer resident. 



Scarlet Tanager. Pyranga rubra. 

 Abundant. A summer resident. 



Summer Redbird. Pyranga cestiva. 



Rare. Formerly more abundant than the preceding. 



Barn-Swallow. Hirundo horreorum. 

 Common. March to September 30th. 



White-bellied Swallow. Tachycineta 'bicolor. 

 Common. Late in March to September 15th. 



Cliff-Swallow. Petrochelidon lunifrons. 



Common in colonies, which return year after year to the same 

 nesting-places. April to September, both inclusive. 



Bank-Swallow. Cotyle riparia. 



Common. Early spring until late in October.
