of our most brilliantly colored birds, known usually as the “Black- winged Red- 
bird.” 
*85. P. (estiva (Linn.) Vieill. Summer Redbird. Summer sojourner; 
abundant southward, but rare in extreme north of the state. Very similar in 
habits, manners and notes to the preceding, and by many persons erroneously 
looked upon as a variety or particular stage of plumage of the same species; 
partial to open, upland woods. A fine songster, the song resembling that of 
the robin, but more sprightly and continued.
