CHAPTER VIII 

 A SCORE OF RARE BIRDS 



IN this chapter I am including twenty 

 birds which are the most frequently seen 

 of those which I have not already men- 

 tioned. They are the following species: 

 Solitary Sandpiper, Killdeer, Bald 

 Eagle, Red-headed Woodpecker, Night- 

 hawk, Rusty Blackbird, Redpoll, Pine 

 Siskin, White-crowned Sparrow, War- 

 bling and White-eyed Vireos, Blue- 

 winged, Northern Parula, Magnolia, 

 Pine, Yellow Palm and Canada War- 

 blers, Yellow-breasted Chat, Olive- 

 backed and Gray-cheeked Thrushes. 



Several times I have seen the Solitary 

 Sandpiper, which is similar to the 

 Spotted but distinctly larger in size.
