18So. | EVERMANN, Birds of Carroll County, Indiana. 29 
184. Harporhynchus rufus. Brown THRASHER.—This is also a com- 
mon and well-known summer resident, returning from the south about 
the first of April. April 3, 1884. Full clutches of eggs May 4, 1885. 
185. Thryothorus ludovicianus. CARoLINA WREN.—A rare resident, 
but apparently becoming more common from year to year. I do not re- 
member to have seen this Wren until 1877, and from then up to 1879, I 
regarded it as a very rare bird. But in 1883-85 it seemed very much more 
common. October 10 and November 16, 1877; February 27, 1879; Febru- 
ary 8 and 24, 1884. 
186. Troglodytes aédon. Housrt Wren.—A tolerably common sum- 
mer resident. In 1884, first seen April 28; common next day. In 1885, 
it returned just a week earlier. 
187. Troglodytes hiemalis. WINTER Wren.—A rather rare resident, 
most frequently seen in winter; but I am quite certain it breeds here. 
188. Cistothorus palustris. LLONG-BILLED MARSH WREN.—A spring 
and autumn migrant, apparently quite rare. 
189. Certhia familiaris americana. BROWN CREEPER.—Winter resi- 
dent except for a few weeks in midwinter when it goes further south. 
Not very often seen. February 1 and 15, 1879; April 6 and 23, 1884; 
April g, 1885. 
190. Sitta carolinensis. WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCH.—A common 
permanent resident. 
Igt. Sitta canadensis. RED-BREAsSTED NuTHatcu.—I think this may 
be regarded as a rare resident. In August, 1878, I saw some three or four 
young near Burlington just able to fly. May 3, 1883, I saw one, and 
another on May 7, 1885. 
192. Parus bicolor. Turrep Tirmouse.—One of our most common 
permanent residents. 
193. Parus atricapillus. CHICKADEE.—A permanent resident, more 
common than the next. 
194. Parus carolinensis. CAROLINA CHICKADEE — Permanent resi- 
dent, but not common. 
195. Regulus satrapa. GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET.—Migrant late in 
the autumn and early in the spring,—probably a few remain all winter. 
April 9, 1885; November, 1877. 
196. Regulus calendula. RuBy-cROWNED KINGLET.— With the pre- 
ceding, a tolerably common migrant. October 5, 1878. 
197- Polioptila cerulea. BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER.—A somewhat 
common summer resident. April 23, 1884; April 22, 1885. Full sets of 
eggs obtained May 17 from two nests which I saw the birds begin building 
May 5. I think from what I could see without climbing to the nests each 
day, that they were completed on the 12th and the first egg laid in each 
on that day. 
198. Turdus mustelinus. Woop THRusH.—An abundant and delight- 
ful summer resident. May 3, 1883; April 28, 1884; April 23, 1885. Full 
sets of eggs June 17, 1882; May 24, 1883. 
199. Turdus fuscescens. WILSON’s THRUSH.—Spring and autumn 
migrant, not very common. April 9, 1885, especially common.
