 755. Hylocichla mustelina ( Cfmel . ) . Wood Thrush. 



The Wood Thrush is an abundant breeding bird over 

 the whole southern half of the state, growing less common 

 in the Alleghanian and Canadian faunas. In most of the 

 northern counties it is a rare summer resident, tho Mr. 

 Simpson records it as common from Warren. In sections of 

 Center, Sullivan, Pike, Wayne, and Monroe Counties, the 

 author has found the Wood Thrush to be rare and very locally 

 distributed. 



756. Hylocichla fuscescens ( Steph . ) . Veery. 



This small retiring thrush is a regular breeding 

 bird in the damp, swampy woodlands and ravines of the north- 

 ern half of the state, being apparently much more abundant 

 in some of the western counties. Prom Clarion and Cambria 

 Counties northward, I have found it to be a rare bird, but 

 in' eastern Pennsylvania it nests each year from Northampton 

 County northward, being most common about Focono Lake, Monroe 

 County. There are several recorded instances of the Veery' s 

 breeding even as far south as Montgomery County, but they 

 must be regarded as accidental.
