ANNOTATED LIST OF THE BIRDS 195 



Long Island. Locally common in summer in the wilder sec- 

 tions, occasional in winter; rare, however, at the western end of the 

 island. So far as I know the nest has never been found. February 

 12 to September 30. 



ORIENT. Uncommon visitant, occurring at any time of 

 year. 



MASTIC. Fairly common summer resident; may breed; 

 occasionally noted in winter, and is perhaps a permanent 

 resident. 



LONG BEACH. Very rare, an adult found on a sandbar 

 May 29, 1915 (Hix and L. N. Nichols); an immature, October 

 29, 1922 (Hix). 



New York State. Rare transient on Staten Island; recent 

 records are August 22, 1914 and September 24, 1911 (Cleaves). 

 Regular and often common winter visitant on the Hudson River 

 in the section of the Palisades from December to late March, often 

 seen from the 125th Street Ferry. Formerly a permanent resi- 

 dent near Ossining (Fisher), but its breeding there now requires 

 confirmation, though highly probable (Brandreth). 



CENTRAL PARK. Casual; fall of 1866 (Woodruff and Paine) ; 

 February 8, 1909 (Griscom). 



BRONX REGION. Only recorded in winter, such birds un- 

 doubtedly wanderers from the Hudson River; February 17, 

 1912 (Griscom and Hix); February 23, 1920 (L. N. Nichols). 



New Jersey. Fairly common winter visitant along the Hud- 

 son. Inland a rare or very rare transient, chiefly reported in May, 

 late August and September. There are June records also, but these 

 must not be regarded as indications of breeding. The bird is 

 reported as present all summer on Greenwood Lake. This would 

 indicate a breeding pair, which, however, might be actually nesting 

 twenty or more miles away, as no bird covers a wider range of 

 territory at this season. There is no definite evidence then that the 

 Bald Eagle breeds in northern New Jersey. Transients in June 

 may possibly be wanderers from more southern breeding grounds. 

 No winter record inland. 



ENGLEWOOD REGION. Fairly common winter resident on 

 the Hudson, December 3, 1904 (W. H. Wiegmann) to March 

 16, 1912 (Griscom); very rare transient inland, only two 

 records; May 2, 1915 (J. M. Johnson); May 11, 1921 (W. 

 deW. Miller)!
