Birds of Greenwood Lake and Vicinity 
155 
Common visitant throughout the year. Never resident. 
Melanerpes erytfirocephalus — Red-headed Woodpecker. 
Rather common permanent resident. Never abundant, but some may 
be observed on each stroll through the adjacent woods throughout the 
year. Nests are found occasionally in secluded spots and the adults and 
young can be observed wandering about after the breeding season almost 
every year. 
Colaptes auratus luteus — Flicker. 
Common summer resident. Also fairly abundant some winters. In 
1907, 1910 and 1916 they were to be found almost daily throughout the 
colder months, but during the other years only a few scattered individ- 
uals were observed during December and February and March. Breeds 
and nests in every available dead stump throughout the section. 
Antrosto^nus vocifems — W hippoorwill. 
Common summer resident. Arrives May 7 to 20 and departs from 
September 10 to 30. Breeds and nests at nearly all the more sparsely 
settled sections about the lake. It is particularly abundant along the 
Wanaque River between the dam and Hewitt and can be observed every 
night during the spring and early summer on all sides. 
Chordeiles virginianus — Nighthawk. 
Common summer resident. Arrives May 15 to 30 and departs Sep- 
tember 9 to October 1. Nests are occasionally found, but not as ofteii 
as the preceding species. This species is more often seen during the day 
than the preceding. 
Chactura pelagica — Chimney Swift. 
Common summer resident. Arrives April 26 to May 15 and de- 
parts September 15 to October 20. Nests abundantly throughout the 
section in unused chimneys of nearly all the houses. 
Archiloehus colubris — Ruby-throated Hummingbird. 
Common summer resident. Arrives May 7 to 15 and departs Sep- 
tember 4 to 15. Nests are occasionally found but are usually very dif- 
ficult to find because of the seclusive habits of this species. 
Tyrannus tyrannus — Kingbird. 
Common summer resident. Arrives May 6 to 24 and departs Sep- 
tember 2 to October 1. Breeds and nests throughout the vicinity of 
the lake. 
Myiarchus crinitus — Crested Flycatcher. 
Common summer resident. Arrives May 6 to 30 and departs August 
20 to September 15. Common breeder and home builder throughout the

Sayortiis phoebe — Phcebe. 
Common summer resident. Arrives March 16 to 25 and departs Sep- 
tember 28 to October 24. Nests under bridges and in open sheds through- 
out the section. 
Nuitallornis borealis — Olive-sided Flycatcher. 
A rare visitant. One was observed by the writer in the Wanaque 
River Valley on September 6, 1917. This bird was perched in a river 
birch just off the railroad right-of-way and close enough at hand to 
positively identify it. 
MyiocJianes virens — Wood Pewee.
