HERMIT THRUSH (Hylocichla guttata pallasi) 

 The Hermit Thrush is best known in our territory as a 

 common transient, arriving in early April with the Kinglets 

 and the Yellow Palm Warbler. Indeed its period of migration 

 is almost an exact parallel with that of the latter species. 

 Probably a few birds winter somewhere near the coast every 

 year, and occasionally this Thrush winters in some numbers, 

 particularly in dense cedar groves, where the flowering dog- 

 wood has a large crop of berries. As a summer resident in 

 our area its occurrence is quite inexplicable. Supposedly a 

 Canadian Zone species, it might be expected in the higher 

 hills of New Jersey, where, however, it is very rare. One 

 is scarcely prepared, therefore, to find it a locally common 

 summer resident in the hottest and driest pine barrens of 

 Long Island, where the ground is carpeted with little else 

 but the bear-berry and the pine barren sand wort. 



Long Island. Common transient; locally common summer 

 resident in the pine barrrens and adjacent woodland; probably 

 regular in small numbers in winter; March 21 to May 22; Sep- 

 tember 14 to December 1. 



ORIENT. Common transient, frequently wintering; March 

 23, 1912 (Mabel R. Wiggins) to May 19, 1916; September 18, 

 1913 to December; average arrival September 23.
