 619. Bombycilla cedrorum Yielll . Cedar Waxwing. 



The Cedar Waxwing or Cherry-bird nests regularly 

 thruout the state hut is apparently more common in the 

 Alleghanian and Canadian faunas. In the southwestern coun- 

 ties, Mr. Dickey tells me that it is common , while in the 

 southwestern section of the state, especially about Phila- 

 delphia, it is local and usually a scarce nesting bird. 

 In my experience I have found the Cedar-bird to be much 

 more common in some seasons than others but have always 

 noted it abundantly on the Pocono plateau in Monroe and 

 Pike Counties. 



622e. Lanius ludovicianus migrans Palmer . Migrant Shrike. 



The Migrant Shrike or Butcher-bird nests regular- 

 ly tho not very commonly in the western border of counties 

 from Allegheny County north thru Mercer, Lawrence, Crawford, 

 and Erie Counties. It is occasionly seen farther east 

 during the breeding season, but as yet no nests have been 

 discovered except in the region noted. In regard to this 

 bird, Dr. Warren in his "Birds of Pennsylvania", gives some 

 interesting notes> on the breeding of this bird in Erie 

 County, where it is more common than elsewhere in the state.
