Mockingbird — A heretofore apparently unrecorded Long Island cap- 

 ture of the Mockingbird turned up in course of labeling a tray of Dr. 

 D wight's skins. It was taken at Ft. Hamilton October i, 1890. 



Catbird — Another Long Island winter record is Mr. Helme's skin, No. 

 955, collected at Miller Place January 20, 1886. 



Wood Thrush — I got my earliest Long Island Wood Thrush record this 

 year at Floral Park, April 26, 1913. I had a good chance to observe him 

 closely, which made it unnecessary to kill it for a record. 



Mr. Helme's collection contains a skin collected at Miller Place 

 May 1, 1893. 





Another breeding record for Flowerfield is the Sharp Shinned Hawk. 

 A brood of young birds was observed flying about (near the nest tree where 

 they' were evidently reared) on August 12th. See Warbler, Vol. VI, 1910, 

 for full list of breeding birds of Flowerfield.
