40. Trochilus colubris (Linn). 



Ruby-Throated Humming Bird. — Summer resident, fairly abundant. I 

 have recorded it as early as April 28 (1902), and as late as May 12 (1894). 

 However, the first week in May generally sees the bird here. Departs about 

 the middle of September. In 1893 I saw several as late as October 2nd. I 

 found a late set of two fresh eggs on July 15th, 1896. 



41. Tyrannus tyrannus (Linn). 



King Bird. — A common summer resident. I seldom see the bird until 

 about May 3rd, but occasionally it arrives in late April — April 27th, 1889, 

 April 30, 1896, and April 30, 1897. Seldom seen after September first. 



42. Myiarchus crinitus (Linn). 



Crested Flycatcher. — Fairly abundant summer resident — apparently 

 more so than ten years ago. Arrives the latter part of April — my earliest 

 bird came April 9, 1889. Departs September 10-15.

Phoebe — Our most abundant Tyrannidae. Arrives from March 16 (1902), 

 to April 3 (1891). Departs about the 10th of October. My latest record is 

 October 20, 1889.
