30 . Melanerpes erythrocephalus. Red-headed Woodpecker. 
Usually common as a summer resident. This species is reported 
from time to time as occurring during the winter. 
31. Colaptes auratus. Flicker. Common summer resident, 
breeds. This species is doubtless the most well-known of all our 
woodpeckers. In different localities it is sometimes known by 
various names, such as the Yellow-shafted Flicker, Golden-winged

32. Antrostonius vociferns. Whip-poor-will. Rare summer 
resident in this vicinity. 
33. Chordeiles virginianus. Night Hawk. Summer resident, 
occasionally breeds. This bird is insectivorous ; a hawk by name, 
but not by nature. “The great mistake of applying improper 
vernacular names to birds was clearly demonstrated during the 
enforcement of the Scalp Act of 1885, when commissioners, of 
whom I have knowledge, took the stand that they were obliged to 
allow bounty on the nighthawk because it was known as a ‘hawk.’ ” 
— Warren.

mon summer resident, breeds.

water. 
41. Cyanocitta cristata. Blue Jay. Resident. This bird is 
not as common in this vicinity as it is in some portions of south¬ 
eastern Pennsylvania. It bears a very bad name, as it is supposed 
to be destructive to other species. “It robs every nest it can find, 
sucks the eggs like the crow, or tears to pieces and devours the 
young birds.”— Audubon. 
42. Corvus americanus. American Crow. An abundant resi¬ 
dent, breeds. 
43. Dolichonyx oryzivorus. Bobolink. Reed-bird. Common
