Comparatively Rare Species at 
Coronado, Florida. 
(From notes taken during 1907, 1908, 
1909 and 1910.) 
Loon, Dec., 1907; Jan. 30, 1910. 
The one in 1907, was wounded by a 
fisherman, with his rod, and then 
captured and given to me. In 1910 
I saw two just outside the breakers 
in the ocean, and one specimen, shot 
somewhere out at sea washed 
ashore. 
Long Tailed Jaeger, Apr. 11, 1910. 
Black Tern, Aug. 15, and Oct. 18, 1910.

Nearly dead, when picked up af- 
ter a big blow.

Three seen during a big storm. 
American Merganser, Nov., 1907. 
Harlequin Duck, Nov. 18, 1910.

Dusky Seaside Sparrow, June, July, 
1908; Sept., 1909, Oct. 1910. 
Mr. Chapman, in the May-June 
“Bird Lore” 1910, says of this spar- 
row that it “has never been seen, 
he believes, north of the Handover 
Canal.” Coronado is but three miles 
from Mosquito Inlet, and as I not- 
ed, I have seen them Were in the 
Salt-marshes, several times, 
Cliff Swallow, Sept. 22, 1910. 
Worm Eating Warbler, Aug. 30, and 
Sept. 10, 1908, May 9, 1910. 
Magnolia Warbler, Oct. 15, 1910. 
Black Throated Green Warbler, May, 
1908; Oct. 20, 1910. 
Blackburnian Warbler, Sept. 25, 1910. 
Two females. 
Carolina Chickadee, June 5, 1910. 
The mile of water and march, which 
separates this island from the main- 
land, seems to keep all Red-headed 
Woodpeckers and Quail, and practical- 
ly all Blue Jays away, and therefore 
the rarity of Audubon Caracaras Dow- 
ny Woodpeckers, and Carolina Chick- 
adees may be ascribed to this same 
barrier. Peculiarly also Mocking 
birds, though represented here all the 
months of the year, never in my ob- 
servation, have nested this side of the 
river, and White-winged Doves and 
Mourning Doves are only here for a 
few weeks in the Fall.

A CUBAN CORRECTION. 
“In THE OOLOGIST of April 15, 
1910, you put me down as ‘I found a 
nest of Spindalis petrei refered to by 
Mr. Read as the Isle of Pines, Trogon, 
etc.’ Now I do not wish to go down 
as confounding Spindalis petrei, a Tan- 
ager, with Priotelus temnurus, a Tro- 
gon, and hence correct the same my- 
self. 
“Again in speaking of the Ruddy 
Quail Dove, there is a misspelling of 
the local name of the Western end of 
our Island, which should be ‘Boyero,’ 
and not ‘Boneys,’ as it is spelled in the 
article referred to.”

We would appreciate it if our read- 
ers would forward to us any and all 
readable notes that they have relat- 
ing to this interesting family of birds.
