OOLOGIST 
The Migrant Shrike. 
J. Claire Wood. 
In THE OOLOGIST for January, 
1910, Mr. R. T. Fuller of Lacona, New 
York, desires to know which variety 
of Lanius ludovicianus inhabits his 
state. Beyond a doubt, migrans is the 
only breeding form and if either ex- 
cubitorides or true ludoricianus should 
occur at all it could be only as a very 
rare straggler. Probably the latest 
and generally accepted authority on 
geographical distribution is Prof. 
Ridgway’s “Birds of North and Mid- 
dle America,” and according to this 
great work, excubitorides is not found 
East of the Great Plains while the’ 
range of migrans is given as the great- 
er part of United States Hast of the 
Great Plains; breeding North to New 
Brunswick, Maine, New Hampshire, 
Vermont, Northern New York, Quebec, 
Ontario, Michigan, Wisconsin and 
Minnesota and Southward to midland 
Virginia and western Carolina, Ken- 
tucky and eastern Kasas; in winter, 
southward to Mississippi, Louisana 
and Texas. The range of true ludov- 
icianus is given as “Coast district of 
South Carolina and Georgia to south- 
ern Florida, and westward over the 
coastal plain of the Gulf States to 
Louisiana.” 
Excepting borealis, all the shrikes 
I have collected here are typical mi- 
grans. My first were taken August 
10, 1890, and last April, 25, 1909. I 
have found them in every month of 
the year except January.
