466 RAMBLES ABOUT HOME. 



Blue Jay. Cyanurus cristatus. 



Common. Dr. Turnbull speaks of it as u less numerous in win- 

 ter than at other seasons." I have not found this, but the contrary 

 to be true. 



Forked-tailed Fly-catcher. Milvulus forficatus. 



" Bonaparte procured a specimen of this bird near Bridgeton, 

 New Jersey ; another was shot by Audubon at Cam den, near Phila- 

 delphia, in June, 1832 " (Turnbull). 



A specimen was collected in April, 1872, near Trenton, New 

 Jersey, and presented by the writer to the Academy or Science, at 

 Salem, Massachusetts.

Olive-sided Fly-catcher. Contopus borealis. 



" Very rare. It is generally seen early in May on its way north, 

 and returns in September " (Turnbull). 



Traill's Fly-catcher. Empidonax Traillii. 



"Bare, but some seasons it is not uncommon in the spring, ar- 

 riving about the middle of May " (Turnbull). 



I am positive that it occasionally remains during the summer 

 and breeds. 



Green-crested Fly-catcher. Empidonax Acadicus. 



" Frequent from the beginning of May to the middle of Septem- 

 ber. It is generally found in the most secluded parts of woods " 

 (Turnbull). 



Least Fly-catcher. Empidonax minimus.
