APPENDIX. 419 
“ Wrens,” Rusty Blackbirds, Titlarks, Winter Wrens, and 
“Yellow-rump” Warblers, are generally abundant; and many 
. winter-birds arrive from the North. . In the latter part, the 
Sharp-tailed Finches and many Song Sparrows finally disap- 
pear, and the Fox Sparrows come from the North. About the 
_ 1st, the Brown Thrushes, Red-eyed Vireos (latest date, Oct. 
3rd), and Towhee Buntings disappear, the Olive-backed 
Thrushes arrive from the North, and the Crow Blackbirds (as 
well as the variety of Bronzed Blackbirds) wander about in 
large flocks. 
' 5th, the last Black-throated Green Warblers depart. 
10th, the last Pine Warblers (latest date, however, Oct. 16th) 
and Cat-birds depart.. 
15th, the “Chippers,” Field Sparrows, Pewees (latest date, 
Oct. 16th), Wood Thrushes, and most of the Blue Birds, Cow- 
birds, Meadow Larks, Purple Finches, Red-winged Blackbirds, 
and Robins disappear. 
§ XI. November. 
During this month, many winter-birds usually come from the 
North, and, as in spring, ‘“ bird-waves” may occur; Fox Spar- 
rows are common, and Hermit Thrushes finally disappear. In 
the early part of November, the last Bay-winged Buntings, 
Blackbirds, Blue Birds, Savannah Sparrows, and Swamp Spar- 
rows, move to the southward. I have seen Great-crested Fly- 
catchers so late as Nov. 1st, and White-throated Sparrows on 
the 14th. 
§ XII. DecemsBer. 
I have seen Fox Sparrows, the last loiterers among our fall- 
migrants, so late as the 9th of December. During this month, 
additional winter-birds may arrive from the North; and the 
same birds generally occur here as in January (§ I).
