FOURTEENTH REPORT. 
thicket near the light-house. One nest was found, and there seemed to 
be but one pair of birds on the island. One was seen on Little Charity on 
July 28. 
63. Thryothorus ludovicianus ludovicianus. Carolina Wren. — This spe- 
cies is an addition to the Charity Island list. A single bird was seen on 
July 25 by the writer, and Dr. Ruthven heard one singing early in the 
morning of July 28 near the light-house, where the first one was taken. 
We have no knowledge of this species in Michigan north of this latitude. 
64. Sitta carolinensis carolinensis. White-breasted Nuthatch. — This 
nuthatch was not common on Charity Island, and only one or two pairs 
were seen. On July 13 the writer saw a pair of adults, with young, feeding 
among the Norway pines along the path through the woods. 
65. Penthestes atricapillus Atricapillus. Chickadee. — The chickadee 
was not a very common resident and breeder on Charity Island, but two or 
three pairs were seen, on July 6, 7 and 8, near the edge of the woods. On July 
20, several (evidently a family) were seen on low willow bushes at the end 
of South Point. When “called/’ this species would come about us and 
often alight within a few feet, seeming anxious to find out what it was 
all about. This is one of the very few species that winter on the islands. 
66. Planesticus migratorius migratorius. Robin. — The robin is a very 
rare summer resident on Charity Island. Only one pair was noticed. One 
was heard singing on July 19 near East Point, five, evidently a family, 
were seen on July 27, and six were observed on July 29.
