14 DHE ALU, DU BION BULLE IA ae 
during the summer from Waukegan and Wilmette inland to Wolf Lake 
and the Mississippi. This information casts serious doubt on “Royal Tern” 
records. A specimen is a must. 
Large-billed Tern* — Seen by numerous birders at Lake Calumet in 
the summer of 1949. Are there photographs of this South American stray, 
or will it have to remain on the hypothetical list? 
Black Swift* — One record (Springfield, 1955) by competent observers. 
Specimen desirable. 
Red-shafted Flicker — All supposed Red-shafted Flickers collected 
in Illinois have proved to be hybrids. Sight records are not as acceptable 
as photographs. 
Lewis’ Woodpecker* — Two or three records, but no specimens or 
photos. 
Ivory-billed Woodpecker* — Smith and Parmalee (1955) fail to mention 
that Audubon reported this species along the Ohio north of Cairo quite 
regularly on a boat trip. It would seem probable that he saw this species 
on the Illinois side, as well as on the Kentucky side. 
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher — No specimens available, but there are good 
photographs in existence. Should be placed on the main list. 
Canada Jay* — One feeder record from Highland Park. Are there 
photographs available for this sighting? Possibly an escapee — no corre- 
lation was noted in records from neighboring slates. This species is ex- 
tremely rare outside the coniferous forests. 
BOREAL CHICKADEE — Specimens not known, but there’s a recent 
banding record from Fulton, Ill., Nov. 19, 1961, by Pete Petersen, Jr.; should 
be placed on the main list. 
Brown-headed Nuthatch* — Only one record, but a substantial one. 
Specimen desired. 
Rock Wren* — Only one record. Specimen or photograph needed. 
Varied Thrush* — At least five records for the state, but no known 
specimens or photographs. Didn’t anyone take a picture of this species 
at one of the feeders where it appeared? 
Sprague’s Pipit* — Over a dozen records for the state, but no specimens. 
Are there photographs? 
Bachman’s Warbler* — Several sight records, but no specimens or 
photographs. The bird is too rare to risk securing a specimen if it should 
appear here again. 
Bullock’s Oriole* — One recent record by Dr. William Southern is 
the only known report. Were there photographs of this sighting? 
WESTERN TANAGER — Two or more records. Photographs available. 
Should be included in the regular list. 
Painted Bunting* — Two sight records. Specimen or photograph 
desirable, but even then there is the possibility of an escaped bird. 
Green-tailed Towhee* — Four or more records, but no specimens. Are 
there any available photographs? 
Lark Bunting* -— Three or more records, but no specimens or 
photographs. 
Black-throated Sparrow* — Two or more records, but no known speci- 
mens or photographs. 
Golden-crowned Sparrow* — One banding record. Specimen desirable. 
White-winged Junco — One sight record. Recent studies (“‘The Loon,” 
1965) have shown that white wing bars may occasionally appear on Slate- 
colored Juncoes. Thus, a specimen is almost a necessity for this species 
to be put on the Illinois list.
