slightly wounded, was secured alive. The latter is now in the possession
of Dr. N. Paquette of Petersburg. They were properly identified by
comparison with a nicely mounted specimen in my collection, which came
from Georgia. As far as I am aware this is the first recorded capture of
this species within the State. Dr. Morris Gibbs in his List of the Birds
of Michigan, 1879, admits it on the authority of Hon. D. D. Hughes of
Grand Rapids, but cites no recorded example having been taken.—JEROME
TROMBLEY, _Petersburg, Munroe County, Michigan_.
GARZETTA CANDIDISSIMA AT NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS.—Visiting the
above-named island, Aug. 12, 1882, I saw in the shop of Mr. H. S. Sweet,
a mounted specimen of the Little White or Snowy Egret, which he said was
shot near the southwest shore, at Hummock pond, last March, by one of
the men of the Life-saving Station. A straggler to New England, the
species has occurred far less frequently than its larger relative the
White Heron (_Herodias egretta_), and this capture in early spring is
remarkable.—H. A. PURDIE, _Newton, Mass._
THE SNOW GOOSE (_Chen Hyperboreus_) AT SING SING, NEW YORK.—On the
morning of April 9th, 1882, a large flock of two or three hundred Snow
Geese visited this place. They alighted several times at the mouth of
the Croton, where it empties into the Hudson, but being disturbed by the
gunners, who were anxious for a shot at them, they at last flew farther
up the river. I examined them by the aid of a powerful field-glass, at a
distance of a few hundred yards, and being on elevated ground I could
look down upon the flock and easily distinguish the black wing-tips of
the adults as they flew. A few days previous I saw a single individual
flying, who seemed to be taking the lay of the country. I was informed
that the flock again passed down the river on the night of the 10th.—A.
K. FISHER, M. D., _Sing Sing, N. Y._
NOTE ON THE LONG-TAILED DUCK.—On February 5, 1881, one of my friends
procured a male specimen of the Long-tailed Duck (_Harelda glacialis_),
at Latrobe, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. The bird was shot on the
only unfrozen spot noticed on the creek at the time—it was during the
coldest “snap” of the season—and was in a very emaciated condition. The
occurrence of this species so far inland (west of and near the
mountains) is noteworthy. It was altogether unknown to the gunners
thereabouts, and was brought to me for identification.—CHAS. H.
TOWNSEND, _Acad. Nat. Sciences, Philadelphia_.
LOMVIA ARRA BRÜNNICHI AND L. TROILE IN NEW ENGLAND.—Mr. Merrill’s note
on these birds in the July number of this Bulletin (p. 191) was a timely
correction of a long established error, for the common Murre found in
winter off the New England coast is, as he has stated, _Lomvia arra
brünnichi_, and not _L. troile_. At different times during the past ten
years I have examined specimens from various points along the shores of
Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, and all of the numerous birds
that have come under my notice have proved to be Brünnich’s Guillemots.
Indeed the example of _L. troile_ mentioned by Mr. Merrill is the only
New England one of which I have any knowledge. Dr. Coues says that the
young of _L. troile_ in their first winter plumage “are colored
precisely like the adults, but may be always distinguished by their much
shorter and slenderer bills which are in great part light colored
(yellowish).”[123] If the latter peculiarity be constant it will afford
a ready mark of distinction between young of the two species, for the
bill in young _brünnichi_, so far as I have seen, is invariably
black.—WILLIAM BREWSTER, _Cambridge, Mass._
RARE WARBLERS IN MASSACHUSETTS.—In the wonderful flight or bird wave,
especially of the _Mniotiltidae_, that took place with us May 21 and 22
last, and for some species continued during a few succeeding days, three
Mourning Warblers, all males, were shot near Fresh pond, Cambridge.
These, in the flesh, were kindly shown me by Mr. C. J. Maynard.
At Framingham,[124] on the above-named dates, Mr. Browne and myself
identified twenty species of Warblers—among them specimens of the Cape
May, Tennessee, and Bay-breasted; of the last two several were obtained
in Eastern Massachusetts. Among New England Warblers, collectors here
consider _Geothlypis philadelphia_ to be the rarest, and _Dendrœca
tigrina_ next in scarcity. _Helminthophila peregrina_ and _Dendrœca
castanea_ follow, though in the fall migrations this latter species
occurs in moderate numbers with more or less regularity.—H. A. PURDIE,
_Newton, Mass._
THE UNUSUAL “WAVE” OF BIRDS DURING THE SPRING MIGRATION OF 1882.—A note
by Dr. Coues in the July Bulletin[125] describes the remarkable “tidal
wave” of our smaller birds that occurred at Washington, D.C., during the
spring migration this year, and it may be worth while to throw a little
light upon its further course.
As Dr. Coues says, the vast number of birds was doubtless due to the
cold and rainy weather that prevailed, checking the progress of the
migration beyond the latitude of Washington. When the weather changed,
the gradually accumulated throng was let loose, and rushed in a great
wave towards the northern breeding grounds. In the vicinity of New York,
as I learn from my friend Mr. J. Dwight, Jr., after prolonged cold and
wet weather a change came on the morning of May 20, and with the
pleasant weather the rush of birds began. Almost all the Warblers and
Thrushes were in great numbers, and continued very abundant at least
throughout the following day. In the latitude of Boston birds had been
unusually scarce for some days. The change to clear and warmer weather
took place about noon of the 2lst, and before the rain ceased the rush
of birds had begun. All day long the smaller birds came in unheard of
numbers, stopping awhile to feed, and then hurrying on. The next morning
the host was even greater, and the trees fairly swarmed with Warblers.
Before noon of that day most of the birds had passed on, but for a day
or two afterward the number of loiterers was sufficient to be
noticeable, compared with ordinary migrations, though they seemed but a
few stragglers after the army that had swept over the country during the
previous days. Almost all the species of Warblers that occur in the
spring migration through New England were observed. Among the rarer ones
were _Helminthophila peregrina_, _Dendrœca tigrina_, _D. castanea_, and
_Geothlypis philadelphia_. A White-crowned Sparrow was also shot in
Cambridge.
Dr. Coues suggests that the cold wave spoken of by Mr. King[126] was the
cause of this accumulation of birds. Such could hardly have been the
case, as that occurred on the 21st and 22d, whereas by that time the
accumulated hosts had reached Massachusetts.
It would be interesting to hear further of the course and magnitude of
this “bird wave” as observed at other points.—CHARLES F. BATCHELDER,
_Cambridge, Mass._
BIRDS NEW TO OR RARE IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
1. BEWICK’S WREN (_Thryomanes bewicki_). An adult ♂, taken at Arlington,
Virginia (immediately opposite Washington), April 10, 1882, by W.
Palmer, is in the collection of the U. S. National Museum (No. 86,218).
2. YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER (_Dendrœca dominica_). The National Museum
also possesses a fine young ♂ of this species, taken at Arlington by Mr.
Palmer, September 7th, 1881 (No. 84,858).
3. LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE (_Lanius ludovicianus_). Several specimens of this
irregularly distributed, and everywhere more or less local, species,
have within the last few years been taken in the vicinity of Washington,
and are now in the collection of the National Museum. Most if not all of
them were obtained in winter.
4. SHARP-TAILED FINCH (_Ammodromus caudacutus_). In the mounted
collection of the National Museum there is a fine adult of this species
labeled, “Washington City, September, 1862; C. Drexler.” (Nat. Mus.
Catal. No. 25,905.)—ROBERT RIDGWAY, _Washington, D. C._
NOTES ON SOME BIRDS AND EGGS FROM THE MAGDALEN ISLANDS, GULF OF ST.
LAWRENCE.—The following notes, made by Mr. M. A. Frazar during a
collecting trip to the Magdalen Islands in June and July, 1882, seem of
sufficient importance to merit publication, although many of them are
not absolutely new. Some of the points which they cover, however, have
been previously involved in more or less obscurity, while the others
will be none the worse for fresh data. The specimens described, and most
of those mentioned, are now in the writer’s collection, and the
descriptions are on his authority.
1. =Dendrœca striata.= BLACK-POLL WARBLER.—A set of three fresh eggs,
identified by the capture of the female parent, was taken June 23. The
nest was built in a low, thick spruce which stood on the edge of a
swamp, near a brook. It was placed on a horizontal branch at a height of
about three feet, and was well concealed by the clusters of
densely-imbricated needles above. Externally it measures 5 inches wide
by 2.50 inches deep; internally 1.80 by 1.50 inches. The walls in places
are 1.50 inches in thickness. The main body of the structure is composed
of Usnea moss, weed-stalks, and dry grasses, closely matted and
protected outwardly by coarser stalks and a few dead spruce twigs. The
lining is of slender, black moss-stems (which curiously resemble
horse-hair), cows’-hair, and a few feathers. The whole affair is
remarkably solid and bulky for a Warbler’s nest.
The eggs are white, with brown specks scattered over the general surface
of the shell and numerous spots and blotches of reddish-brown and
lavender about the larger end. They measure respectively .75 × .56, .76
× .56, and .75 × .57.
2. =Pinicola enucleator.= PINE GROSBEAK.—The Pine Grosbeak was
apparently rare among the Magdalens for Mr. Frazar met with only five
individuals, four of which were secured. The first pair, taken June 18,
on Amherst Island, evidently had a nest among some low spruces, for both
birds showed unmistakable signs of anxiety when the spot was approached,
and the female proved, on examination, to be incubating. The female of
the second pair, shot June 29, on Grindstone Island, had laid all her
eggs but one, which, although in the oviduct and of full size, was
unfortunately without a shell. Mr. Frazar searched long and carefully
for both nests but without success.
Our knowledge respecting the breeding of this Grosbeak, as found in
America, is so very imperfect that the above data are both interesting
and valuable. The inference is that the eggs are laid late in the
season, a fact which the analogy furnished by kindred species would
scarcely have suggested.
3. =Loxia leucoptera.= WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL.—Mr. Frazar met with these
Crossbills on all the islands of the Magdalen group, where they were
among the most abundant of the land birds. At the time of his arrival
(June 6) they had already collected in large flocks which were composed
chiefly of young birds and females, a company of fifty or more often
containing only one or two males in red plumage. The latter were also
found singly, and from the fact that such individuals were often in full
song Mr. Frazar inferred that they might still be in attendance on
sitting mates, or unfledged young. The average development of the
numerous young birds collected would indicate, however, that the regular
breeding season was somewhat earlier, although none of them could have
been hatched much before the middle of May. Assuming, then, that the
past season was not an exceptionally late one, the proper time to look
for fresh eggs in this locality would be not far from May 1.
As I can find no detailed description of the first plumage of this
species I append the following:—
_Juv., first plumage_ (♀, Magdalen Islands, June 14, 1882. M. A.
Frazar). Entire plumage of head and body thickly streaked with dull
black on an ochraceous ground; greater and middle wing-coverts, with the
tertials, broadly tipped with fulvous-white; primaries and rectrices
black, edged with pale fulvous.
A male (June 26) somewhat older, but still in first plumage, differs
from the specimen just described in having the dark streaks broader and
blacker, the wing-bands nearly pure white, and the under parts less
strongly ochraceous.
4. =Ægiothus linaria.= COMMON RED-POLL.—In his list of the birds of the
Magdalen Islands,[127] Mr. Cory included this species “with great
hesitation,” a single specimen, so badly mangled that it could not be
positively identified, being the only one which came under his notice.
Mr. Frazar, however, found it abundant on both Amherst and Grindstone
Islands where many large flocks were seen feeding among the spruces.
Owing to lack of time and the pressure of other duties he secured only
two specimens, but as these are both in first plumage the breeding of
the species there may be considered assured. The following description
is taken from the younger of the two examples just mentioned.
_Juv., first plumage_ (♂, Magdalen Islands, June 29, 1882. M. A.
Frazar). Entire plumage of the head and body, excepting the throat,
cheeks, and abdomen, thickly and coarsely streaked with dull black on a
pale ochraceous or brownish-white ground; tips of the greater and middle
wing-coverts with the outer edges of the tertials, ochraceous-white;
throat black; cheeks brownish-ochraceous; center of the abdomen
brownish-white and immaculate; no red on the vertex.
5. =Falco columbarius.= PIGEON HAWK.—A set of four eggs from Amherst
Island was taken under the following circumstances: Mr. Frazar was
passing a spruce-clad knoll surrounded by a boggy swamp, when he noticed
a pair of Pigeon Hawks circling above the trees. Approaching, he quickly
discovered their nest, built in a dense spruce at the intersection of a
horizontal branch with the main stem and at a height of about ten feet.
As he climbed the tree the Hawks, now thoroughly alarmed for the safety
of their charge, dashed wildly about his head, frequently passing within
a few feet and uttering shrill screams of anger or dismay. After taking
the eggs he made a close examination of the nest, which was found to be
very bulky—in fact “as large as a Crow’s,” and composed chiefly of bark
with some coarse sticks surrounding the exterior, and a neat, soft
lining of finer bark and _horse-hair_. From its general appearance he
felt convinced that it was constructed by the Hawks themselves. This was
June 9; returning five days later he found both birds flying about the
knoll and their actions indicated that they had built another nest
somewhere near, but it could not be found. As he was then on the point
of leaving the island he shot the male, a fine adult specimen which
accompanies the eggs.
The latter, now before me, are almost perfectly elliptical in shape, and
measure respectively 1.57 × 1.27, 1.55 × 1.23, 1.59 × 1.24, and 1.56 ×
1.25. The ground-color, in three of them, is apparently pinkish-buff,
but this is almost wholly overlaid by numerous, nearly confluent
blotches of dilute chocolate and purplish-brown which, with a few black
spots and dashes, are uniformly spread over the entire surface of the
shell. The fourth specimen has some immaculate spaces of creamy-buff
about the smaller end, although the markings elsewhere are even denser
than in the other three. The general coloring of these eggs is extremely
rich and handsome and, excepting in size, they bear a close resemblance
to the notoriously beautiful egg of the Duck Hawk.—WILLIAM BREWSTER,
_Cambridge, Mass._
