 the state, the Kinglet "breeds regularly tho never commonly 

 on the highest parts of the Alleghanies. In Sullivan 

 County, Mr. Dwight met with a pair in June (Auk, 1392), and 

 in 1899 Mr. Witmer Stone found it not uncommon about Lopez 

 and took two young birds. Dr. Warren (Birds of Pennsylvania) 

 records it as summering in Lycoming County, and it has also 

 been reported from McKean County. Mr. Simpson has never 

 found it at Warren, but in northwestern Pennsylvania the 

 author has found it rarely in Pike and Wayne Counties, where 

 a family brood was seen in 1904, while in the vicinity of 

 Pocono Lake, Monroe County, several pairs have been observed 

 during June and July of 1905, 1906, and 1907. 



751. Polioptila caerulea caerulea ( Linn . ) . Blue-gray r-nat- 

 catcher. 



The Blue-gray Gnatcatcher nests each year and in 

 some sections abundantly in southwestern Pennsylvania. In 

 Washington County, it is a regular breeder but occurs in the 

 greatest numbers in Greene County, where a large number of 

 nests have been taken by Messrs. Jacobs and Dickey. To the 

 north it breeds frequently thru Allegheny and Beaver Counties, 

 where Mr. W. C. Todd has found it nesting at Beaver Falls. 

 In Dr. Warren's "Birds of Pennsylvania" he quotes Mr. H. J. 

 Roddy in recording it as a breeding bird in southern Perry 

 County. East of the Alleghanies, its nesting seems to be 

 accidental.
