APPENDIX. 457 



Horned Lark. Eremophila cornuta. 



" Plentiful ; appearing late in October and generally leaving in 

 March, but some seasons it remains until April " (Turnbull.) If a 

 cold northeaster occurs in September it often brings these birds, 

 which, again, have been seen as late as May 10th. 



Titlark. Anthus Ludovicianus. 



" Common. It arrives from the north in October, and departs 

 in April, but is more frequent in the autumn and spring migra- 

 tions" (Turnbull). Scarcely common. 



Creeping Warbler. Mniotilta varia. 



Abundant from April to October. Seen often in winter. 



Blue Yellow-backed Warbler. Parula Americana. 

 Common from April to October. 



Worm-eating Warbler. Helmintlierus vermivorus. 



" Rather rare ; arriving in the middle of May " (Turnbull). 

 During the past ten years this has been one of our most abundant 

 species, and one that reaches us as early as the middle of April. 



Blue-winged Yellow Warbler. Helminthophaga pinus. 

 Somewhat rare, but variable in this respect. 



Nashville Warbler. Helminthophaga ruficapilla. 



Common. Often very abundant during the autumnal migration 

 of the warblers generally. 



Tennessee Warbler. Helmmihophaga peregrina. 



Not uncommon. Dr. Turnbull speaks of it as more common in 

 autumn than in spring. 



Gold en- winged Warbler. Helminthophaga chrysoptera. 

 Quite rare, except in certain summers when warblers of every 

 species are unusually abundant. 



Cape May Warbler. Perissoglossa tigrina. 



" Very rare ; it arrives early in May, and again it visits us on its 

 way south about the 10th of October " (Turnbull). 



Summer Warbler. Dendrceca cestiva. 

 Abundant.
