There is but a single record of this species for Louisiana, 

 and perhaps for the whole of the United States, with the ex- 

 ception of the northeastern portions. The specimen which 

 made this record was secured by myself on the outskirts of 

 New Orleans, September 12, 1888. The bird was mounted 

 and is now in the collection of Mr. Kohn. 

 323. Sialis sialis Linn. Bluebird. 



A constant and common resident throughout the state. 

 Since the extremely cold weather of February, 1895, their 

 numbers have been greatly reduced. During the breeding- 

 season this species decidedly prefers the pine regions to other 

 parts of the state.
