Hudson River Valley. There are few records for Connecticut, 

 and although Giraud leads us to believe it was not uncommon and 

 bred on Long Island when he wrote, it is now unknown there. 



*335- Parus atricapillus [Linn. ). 



Chickadee. (735 ) — Eastern North 

 America, breeding from southern 

 Illinois and Pennsylvania northward 

 to Labrador, and southward along 

 the Alleghanies to North Carolina; 

 in winter migrates a short distance 

 below the southern limit of its breed- 

 ing range. The Chickadee is here a 

 common resident, but is more nu- 

 merous during its migration in Oc- 

 tober than at other times. 



336. Parus carolinensis Aud t 



Carolina Chickadee. (736.) — 

 "Southeastern United States, north 

 to New Jersey and Illinois"; resi- 

 dent from Washington southward. 

 This species reaches the southern 

 limit of our district at Princeton, N. J 

 W. E. D. Scott, it is a regular summei resident, while/ 5 , atricapillus 

 is found there only in the winter (Scott, TheCountry, I, 1878, p. 354).

*337- Regulus satrapa Licht. Golden-crowned Kinglet. 

 (748.) — North America, breeding from the northern United States 

 northward, and southward along the Rockies into Mexico, and in 

 the Alleghanies to North Carolina ; winters from the southern 

 limit of its breeding range to the Gulf States. This species is a 

 common winter resident in favorable localities ; it arrives from the 

 north about October 1 and remains until May. 



*338. Regulus calendula {Linn.). Ruby-crowned Kinglet. 

 {749.) — North America ; breeds from the northern border of the 

 United States northward, and winters from South Carolina south- 

 ward into Mexico. This species is with us a common spring, and 

 an abundant fall migrant, arriving from the south about the middle 

 of April and returning late in September.
