152 BIRDS OF THE NEW YORK CITY REGION 



April 30, 1921 and May 31, 1922, and sometimes common from 



July 15, 1916 to September 18, 1921. 



ENGLEWOOD REGION. Very rare transient, only five 

 records; April 6, 1910 (Griscom and LaDow) to May 3, 1913 

 (Griscom and LaDow); August 7, 1912 (J. T. Nichols) to 

 October 11, 1911 (Griscom and LaDow). 



WHITE-HUMPED SANDPIPER (Pisobia fuscicollis) 

 The White-rumped Sandpiper is usually found with Least 

 and Semipalmated Sandpipers, and is probably overlooked 

 in the multitudes of those species. It is, however, larger, 

 perhaps a shade paler in the fall, and the upper tail-coverts 

 are pure white. Its call note is also quite different. There 

 seems to be considerable misapprehension about the status of 

 this species in spring, as neither Braislin nor Eaton mention 

 it as occurring at this season. The facts are, however, that it 

 is by no means rare in spring, and can be observed annually 

 in May on the beaches near New York City, if sufficient 

 scrutiny be given to the abundant flocks of "Peep." 



Long Island. Uncommon spring, fairly common fall transient, 

 May 11 to June 10 (June 20); (July 4) July 20 to November 4.

 14, 1919.

 as early as May 11, 1918. 



LONG BEACH. Uncommon transient, May 15, 1919 (Bick- 

 nell) to June 20, 1918 (Bicknell); August 23, 1917 (Bicknell) to 

 October 23, 1910 (Griscom and LaDow).

BAIRD'S SANDPIPER (Pisobia bairdi) 



This species is only known as a rare fall transient on Long 

 Island, and there is one old spring record. It closely re-
