Notes on the Different Birds.

175. Parus atricapillus Linn. X Most numerous in winter 
when it is seen in small companies. Many breed in swamps 
and damp woods. May 20, 1882, I saw one .in East Swamp fly¬ 
ing with a tuft of sheep’s wool. June 4, 1883 I found a nest 
full of young ones. It was placed in a hollow in the stump of 
a young birch, 12 feet from the ground. Parus hudsonicus Forst., 
which belongs to the Canadian fauna, is said to be a winter visi¬ 
tor in Wisconsin. 
176. KeguhlS satrapa Licht. XXX M. $ L. 93. E. 155. 
W. 52. T. 34. Appears to arrive mostly in separate flocks, not 
as the following species in company with titimice and warblers. 
King is certainly right when he says that the migratiou of this 
species takes place earlier than that of the other. In 1882 
none were shot before April 9. Many days it was not observed. 
Most abundant April 24 to May 1. In autumn seen mostly Oct. 
5-9. In 1883, first flock of this species April 9. Afterward 
ouly a few. 
177. Regulus calendula (Linn.). XXX M. $ L. 104. E. 176. 
W. 57. T. 43. $ (4) L. 106-112. E. *173-181. W. 57-59. 
T. 41-43. In 1882 a few flocks of kinglets were seen from 
April 3. This species was not shot before the 10th. Not 
abundant before the 18th. Most abundant April 30 to May 12. 
The last seen May 15. In autumn a single one of this species 
was seen Sept. 30. Kinglets seen in flocks Oct. 4-22. In 1883 
flocks of kinglets — probably this species — seen from April 11.. 
First shot the 15th. Most, April 25 to May 6. Last seen May 17 
Polioptila coerulea (Linn.) is ascribed to the Carolinian fauna 
but often appears to breed in Wisconsin. Was not seen, however, 
by King, Cooke or Willard. 
178. Turdus mustelinus G-mel. XXX Two seen in com¬ 
pany with other thrushes May 22, 1882. Hardly breeds at 
Shiocton. Was found on a single occasion breeding at De Pere 
(Willard), and is said to be common in Jefferson county (Cooke). 
179. Turdus fuscescens Steph. x X. M. $ L. 183. 
E. 352. W. 101. T. 75. $ L. 176. E. 277. W. 93. T. 69. 
Cooke has not found this species breeding in Jefferson Co. In 
the Daily Beat it breeds in several places in damp woods. But 
it does not appear to be very abundant. Most observed in the
