67. Eremophila alpestris chrysolæma (Wagl.) Coues. Mexican Horned Lark.—Abundant up to the first week of March, after which none were seen until March 27. From this time occasional individuals only were observed.
68. Milvulus forficatus (Gm.) Sw. Scissor-tail.—Arrived March 24, and became at once common.
69. Myiarchus crinitus (Linn.) Cab. Great-crested Flycatcher.—One specimen taken March 30.
70. Sayornis fuscus (Gm.) Bd. Pewee.—Found rather uncommonly throughout my stay.
71. Caprimulgus vociferus, Wils. Whip-poor-will.—One specimen taken April 2.
72. Picus scalaris, Wagl. Texas Woodpecker.—An abundant resident.
73. Sphyrapicus varius (Linn.) Bd. Yellow-bellied Woodpecker.—Rare and irregular.
74. Centurus carolinus (Linn.) Bp. Red-bellied Woodpecker.—The rarest species of this family: but three seen.
75. Centurus aurifrons, Wagl. Golden-fronted Woodpecker.—Uncommon resident. Unlike Mr. Sennett,[[24]] I found it always very shy.
76. Colaptes auratus hybridus (Bd.) Ridg. Hybrid Flicker.—Uncommon and of irregular occurrence. This form does not appear to have been met with in Texas limits before. The present locality is at all events exceptionally southern.
