54. Quiscalus purpureus æneus Ridgw. Crow Blackbird.—Common at Fort Fairfield, in the town, along the river, and about a small pond back in the woods. At Grand Falls it was not uncommon about the town. “Very common” at Houlton.
55. Corvus corax Linn. Raven.—Rare at Grand Falls. Not met with at Fort Fairfield. “Very rare” at Houlton.
56. Corvus americanus Aud. Crow.—Common.
57. Cyanocitta cristata (Linn.) Strickl. Blue Jay.—Common at Grand Falls. At Fort Fairfield it was rather common, but shy and seldom seen.
58. Perisoreus canadensis (Linn.) Bp. Canada Jay.—At Houlton: “very common. These birds do not often appear in the thickly settled part of the town, but are very abundant around the lumber camps in this vicinity.” This no doubt explains the fact that the species was not seen by any of us at Grand Falls and Fort Fairfield.[[72]]
59. Tyrannus carolinensis (Linn.) Bd. Kingbird.—Rather common at Fort Fairfield. At Grand Falls several were seen, but it was not common.
60. Myiarchus crinitus (Linn.) Caban. Great Crested Flycatcher.—In June, 1878, Messrs. H. A. Purdie and Ruthven Deane observed a pair nest-building at a point in New Brunswick about six miles east of Houlton.
61. Sayornis fuscus (Gm.) Bd. Pewee.—One was observed at Fort Fairfield, June 28. “Very rare” at Houlton.
62. Contopus borealis (Swains.) Bd. Olive-sided Flycatcher.—Common in the woods at Grand Falls. This species was rather common at Fort Fairfield. We usually saw them perched on the tops of tall dead trees in clearings. They were rather shy.
63. Contopus virens (Linn.) Caban. Wood Pewee.—At Fort Fairfield it appeared to be not uncommon. It was not met with, however, at Grand Falls.
