List of Birds Observed at Pensa- 
cola, Florida. 
BY BARTON W. EVERMANN. 
Concluded from Page 81. 

62. Pipilo erythrophthalmus alleni, Coues. (5874). 
White-eyed Towhee. Less common than the 
preceding. One soon learns to distinguish the 
two species by their notes. 
63. Cardinalis cardinalis, (Linn.) (593), Cardi- 
nal. I was delighted to find this musical bird 
common at most points visited. It’s clear note is 
one of the characteristic sounds of the region. 
64. Piranga rubra, (Linn.) (610). Summer 
Tanager. A few males were seen at Tchina 
Point, March 21st, and afterward. On the penin- 
sula at Saint Joseph’s they were very common 
April 5th and 6th. Both males and females were 
present, and as they flitted among the palmetto 
palms and magnolias they added greatly to the 
beauty and tropical appearance of the scene. 
65. Progne subis, (Linn.) (611). Purple Martin. 
Common about town, even as early as March 18. 
66, Petrechelidon lunifrons, (Say). (612). Cliff 
Swallow. A few were seen at Pensacola, March 
24th, and others on subsequent occasions. 
67, Clivicola riparia, (Linn.) (616). 
Swallow. A few seen almost every day. 
68, Lantus ludovicianus, Linn. (622). Loggerhead 
Shrike. The only specimen which I saw was one 
I shot on Santa Rosa Island, March 25th. 
69. Vireo flavifrons, Vieill. (628). Yellow- 
throated Vireo. Shot one on Tchina Point, April 
10th—the only one seen. I think I saw a Red- 
eyed Vireo on same evening, but am not certain 
about it. 
70. Mniotilta varia, (Linn). (636). Black-and- 
White Creeper. On most all my tramps in the 
woods about Pensocola I seldom failed to see one 
or more of this curious little warbler. They were 
most common at Saint Joseph’s and near the 
navy yard. The first ones were seen March 21st. 
71. Helminthophila peregrina, (Wils.) (647). 
3ank 
Tennessee Warbler. Several were seen at Tchina 
Point March 21st. I do not think I saw it after 
that date. 
72. Compsothlypis americana, (Linn.) (648). 
Parula Warbler. This beautiful little warbler 
was quite common at Tchina Point, March 21st. 
It was much tamer than I had ever found it in 
the north, often permitting to approach within a 
few feet of it as it searched for food among the 
branches of the live oak. They were also seen in 
considerable numbers at Saint Joseph’s. 
73. Dendroica coronata, (Linn.) (655). Myrtle 
Warbler. This was by far the most abundant 
warbler to be seen, outnumbering all other species 
combined. We found them abundant upon our 
arrival (March 18) and they so continued through- 
out the period of our stay. Not only were they 
abundant in the groves about the town but the 
fruit and shade trees in the yards and along the 
streets visited by them. At Saint Joseph’s also 
they were very abundant. 
74, Dendroica dominica albilora, Baird. (663d). 
Sycamore Warbler. Not common, but seen 
everywhere. First noticed March 21st. 
75. Dendroica virens, (Gmel.) (567).  Black- 
throated Green Warbler. A male in full plumage 
was shot near “Uncle Aaron’s” March 23d. A 
few others were seen about Pensacola and quite 
anumber at St. Joseph’s. 
76. Dendroica vigorsiti, (Aud.) (671). Pine 
Warbler. I shot a pair (male and female) at 
Tchina Point March 19th. A few others were 
seen later. 
Oven- 
bird. One taken at Tchina Point, March 26th, 
was the only one seen. 
78. Sylvania mitrata, (Gmel.) (684). Hooded 
Warbler. I saw several fine males of this hand- 
some warbler at Tchina Point March 2ist, and a 
few again on April 10th. In the bird wave at 
St. Joseph’s the Hooded Warbler was among the 
most numerous and most striking species. Only 
males were seen and they were remarkably tame 
and unsuspicious. 
77. Sedurus aurocapillus, (Linn.) 674).
