236 Merriam on Birds about Point de Monts , Canada. 
39. Zonotrichia albicollis. White-throated Sparrow. — The com- 
monest Sparrow, breeding everywhere. First seen May 14, 1882. This 
bird is the “Nightingale” of the Canadians. 
40. Zonotrichia leucophrys. White-crowned Sparrow. — Breeds, 
but is not common. 
41. Agelseus phceniceus. Red-shouldered Blackbird. —Very 
rare. The only one ever seen here was a female, and was shot by Mr. 
Comeau May 22, 1882. 
42. Xanthoceplialus icterocephalus. Yellow-headed Blackbird. 
— An accidental straggler from the west. Mr. Comeau shot a male of this 
species in his door yard, at Godbout, early in September, 1878.* 
43. Quiscalus purpureus. Crow Blackbird. — Rare. Sometimes 
seen in flocks in spring. 
44. Corvus corax. Raven. — A common resident. May 12, 1882, 
Mr. Comeau found one of their nests on the face of a cliff about half-way 
between Godbout and Point de Monts. It contained four full-fledged young 
that must have been at least three or four weeks old. 
45. Corvus frugivorus. Crow. — A common summer resident, some- 
times wintering. I have observed that the Crows here find much of their 
food along the beach at low water.

have seen a specimen that Mr. Comeau shot June 15, 1882. 
50. Chordediles popetue. Night-hawk. — A common summer resi- 
dent. First seen June 5, 1882. I saw Night-hawks flying about overhead 
nearly every day while at Godbout, both in July, 1881, and July, 1882. 
51. Chaetura pelasgica. Chimney Swift. — Generally tolerably 
common, but not seen this year. 
52. Ceryle alcyon. Belted Kingfisher. — A rather common sum- 
mer resident, arriving about the first of May. About June 13, 1882, Mr. 
Comeau found three Kingfishers nests in a bank, and each contained seven 
fresh eggs.

Mr. Comeau has shot but one here.

Godbout.

resident, like the last. 
56. Picoides arcticus. Black Three-toed Woodpecker. — Resi- 
dent; not rare.
