Cohn—Notes on the Vertebrate Fauna 497 
Crow. Corvus hrachyrhynchos brachyrhynchos Brehm. 
Quite common about the villages and clearings, especially 
around Kenton. 
Cowbird. Molothrus ater ater (Boddaert). 
Common about clearings and farm houses and in the village 
streets. A fully grown young of this species was seen in con¬ 
stant attendance upon a female white-throated sparrow. 
Red-winged Blackbird. Agelaius phoenicens phoeniceus (Linn). 
Found quite commonly along the Kenton river, and about the 
smaller lakes in the Lake 33 region. Old nests were found in 
the cat-tail swamps. 
Meadowlark. Stnrnella magna magna (Linn). 
Around Kenton this species was seen several times, and heard 
nearly every day. Though the meadowlark is not as abundant 
as in the southern peninsula, it is to be found in practically all 
of the clearings, and not in any other location, as would be ex¬ 
pected. 
Rusty Blackbird. Euphagus carolinus (Muller). 
In the neighborhood of the towns this species is quite com¬ 
mon, though they are seldom seen actually in the towns them¬ 
selves. 
Bronzed Crackle. Quiscalus quiscula aenens Ridgway. 
A number of bronzed grackles were seen, both in the vicinity 
of Kenton, and in the swamp bordering Lake 16. Can hardly 
be considered common. 
Purple Finch. Carpodacus purpureus purpureus (Cmelin). 
A flock of fourteen individuals was seen near Lake 16, and 
in the second-growth pines about Kenton several smaller flocks 
were found. 
Goldfinch. Astragalinus tristis tristis (Linn). 
Common throughout the country visited, but confined more 
especially to the more open country. A deserted nest with five 
eggs was found near Kenton.
