300 BIRDS OF THE NEW YORK CITY REGION 



Long Island. Very rare and irregular summer resident, occa- 

 sionally reported on migration in spring. Single pairs have been 

 found nesting in 1878, 1893, and 1899. The last reports for the 

 island are May 1, 1916 in Prospect Park (E. Fleischer), and May 

 13, 1917, Roslyn (J. T. Nichols). The hundreds seen at Long Beach 

 and elsewhere by young observers in August and early September 

 are nothing but young Tree Swallows. April 19 to August. 



New York State. A common summer resident along the 

 Hudson River, almost unknown elsewhere. Dates at Ossining are 

 from April 17 to August 12 (Fisher). A single pair bred on Staten 

 Island in 1908 (Chapin). 



CENTRAL PARK. One record, May 3, 1917 (Hix). 

 BRONX REGION. Formerly nested at Riverdale (Bicknell) ; 

 still breeds near Van Cortlandt Park; I have also seen it in 

 summer near the Jerome Reservoir; April 12, 1919 (C. L. 

 Lewis) to September 9, 1877 (Bicknell); no other date later 

 than July 21. 



New Jersey. Fairly common summer resident at Plainfield 

 (Miller) and also near Morristown and Elizabeth; rare at Mont- 

 clair (Rowland) ; also common along the Delaware River in Sussex 

 County from Dingman's Ferry to Port Jervis (Chapman, Dwight 

 and Griscom) ; a single pair found nesting at Budd's Lake, Morris 

 County, many years ago (Chapin and Miller); a pair nesting in a 

 railroad culvert at Johnsonburg, Warren County, in June, 1921 

 (Griscom); otherwise unknown in our area at the present time 

 except as a transient at Englewood; the Bird-Lore migration 

 tables give the extreme dates at Morristown as April 15, 1912 and 

 September 6, 1914. 



ENGLEWOOD REGION. Found nesting June 16, 1887 (Chap- 

 man); now an uncommon but regular transient in spring, 

 April 23, 1922 (Griscom and Laidlaw Williams) to May 16, 

 1920 (Granger, Griscom and Janvrin). 



BOHEMIAN WAXWING (Bombycilla garrula) 

 An accidental winter visitant from the northwest. 



Long Island. Giraud states that several were shot in 1830 

 and 1832; Audubon records it in 1838; specimens exist taken in 

 1851 and at North Haven, Suffolk County, April 18, 1889. 



New Jersey. The reports of the occurrence of this species in 

 our area are utterly unsatisfactory, and it must be regarded as 

 purely hypothetical, until a properly authenticated specimen is 

 obtained.
