WILSON'S THRUSH; VEERY (Hylocichla fuscescens) 

 A common summer resident in the richer woodland of our 

 area, locally absent from the coastal plain, where it is known 

 chiefly as an uncommon transient . It is the first of our thrushes 

 to leave, and is rarely recorded even in September. On foggy 

 August nights the mellow calls of Veeries and Bobolinks from 

 the sky are a feature of the migration, mingled with the 

 harsher cries of Night and Green Herons and various Shore- 

 birds. Many late September and October sight records of 

 thisHhrush are undoubtedly erroneous and are omitted. 



Long Island. Fairly common transient, occasionally nesting 

 on the north shore; April 13 and May 1 to May 23; September 2 

 to October 15 and casually to November 5. 



ORIENT. Rare transient; May 1, 1909 to May 23, 1914; 

 September 15, 1913 to October 11, 1917 (Mabel R. Wiggins).

 nell on May 8, 1919, May 9, 1917 and September 2, 1920.
