Hudson River Valley. There are few records for Connecticut, 

 and although Giraud leads us to believe it was not uncommon and 

 bred on Long Island when he wrote, it is now unknown there. 



*335- Parus atricapillus (Linn. ). 



CHICKADEE. (735 ) Eastern North 

 America, breeding from southern 

 Illinois and Pennsylvania northward 

 to Labrador, and southward along 

 the Alleghanies to North Carolina; 

 in winter migrates a short distance 

 below the southern limit of its breed- 

 ing range. The Chickadee is here a 

 common resident, but is more nu- 

 merous during its migration in Oc- 

 tober than at other times.

limit of our district at Princeton, N. J., where, according to Mr. 



W. E. D. Scott, it is a regular surnmei resident, while P. atricapillus 



is found there only in the winter (Scott, TheCountry, I, 1878, p. 354).

 common winter resident in favorable localities; it arrives from the 

 north about October i and remains until May.
