Notes- Eggs of Thrushes & Thrashers. 

 H.Q.Parker. 



Gray-cheeked Thrush {Hylocwhla almoe). A 

 bird breeding quite commonly in northern por- 

 tions of the country, but as authentic eggs are 

 seldom seen in pi-ivate collections, it is enough 

 to say in this connection that they are a deep 

 shade of green marked with russet-brown spots 

 and ai-e about the same size as eggs of Hyloci- 

 ehla ustiilata swainsoni.

I 290. Turdus alicia. Gray-cliecked Thrush. 

 Common migrant. Found in company with 

 ' the next and more common. A few remain 

 j during the summer to breed. Know of two 

 I nests being found near Minneapolis in 1886. 

 : Nested near the ground like a Wilson's Thrush, 

 • but the eggs were finely sprinkled with black 

 I or very dark brown.

The first name of Turdus alicice, Alice's Thrush, is compli- 

 mentary to Miss Alice Kennicott ; the second, Gray-cheeked, is, 

 of course, a color-rnark. ' '
