Regulus satrapa satrapa (Lichtenstein). Golden-Crowned 
Kinglet 
An abundant migrant and winter resident. Arrives early 
in October, and is rarely found after the middle of April. 
Regulus calendula calendula (Linnaeus). Ruby-Crowned 
Kinglet 
A common migrant, far less abundant than the preceding. 
Arrives during the first week of April, and often remains until 
the middle of May. 
Polioptila caerulea caerulea (Linnaeus). Blue-Gray Gnat- 
catcher 
A common migrant, especially during the spring migration. 
Arrives early in the third week of May, and is often seen for but 
a few days. 
Hylocichla mustelina (Gmelin). Wood-Thrush 
A common summer resident, nesting in any suitable woods. 
Five pairs nested in the woods near Gifford Station in 1913. Soft 
maple ( Acer rubrum) seems to be the favorite nesting tree, and 
the nest is seldom placed over 8 feet from the ground. An un- 
usually low nest was found in these woods at an elevation of but 
14 inches. 
Hylocichla fuscescens fuscescens (Stephens). Veery 
Common only as a migrant during the middle of May and 
late September, and more abundant in the spring. September 7 
is the earliest fall date recorded. 
Hylocichla aliciae aliciae (Baird). Gray-Cheeked Thrush 
A common migrant, arriving about the first week in May. 
Found mostly in the rather dense maple woods, and the birds are 
quite timid. Fall migration begins the second week in September, 
and the species is then common until early October. 
Hylocichla ustulata swainsoni (Tschudi). Olive-Backed 
Thrush 
A common migrant in early May and September. Less secre- 
tive than the preceding, and is found as often along the road- 
side as in the woods. Often entirely missed on the fall migration.
