BEACK-THROATED BUNTING.

they often remain with ns in Pennsylvania during the whole 
winter. They also inhabit the continent of North America, 
from Hudson’s Bay to Georgia; and have been found by 
voyagers on the northwest coast of America. They arrive at 
Hudson’s Bay in April, and leave it in September. Mr 
Hearne, however, informs us, that 44 the Gold- winged Wood- 
pecker is almost the only species of Woodpecker that winters 
near Hudson’s Bay.” The natives there call it Ou-thee- 
quan-nor-ow , from the golden colour of the shafts and lower 
side of the wings. It has numerous provincial appellations 
in the different states of the Union, such as 44 High-hole,” 
from the situation of its nest, and 64 Hittock,” 4 4 Yucker,” 
44 Fiut,” 44 Flicker,” by which last it is usually known in 
Pennsylvania. These names have probably originated from 
a fancied resemblance of its notes to the sound of the words ; 
for one of its most common cries consists of two notes, or 
syllables, frequently repeated, which, by the help of the 
hearer’s imagination, may easily be made to resemble any or 
all of them.

Of this bird I have but little to say. They arrive in

the group appears to assume two forms, under modifications, that of E. 
miliaria , with the bill of considerable strength, and that, of the weaker make, 
of E. schceniculus. To the former will be allied our present species ; under 
the latter will rank the small F. socialis , melodia , and pcdustris , &c. ; the form
