throat
inconspicuously streaked and a faint bluish
breast-band.

_Range._ Florida between lat. 27 deg. and 30 deg., and
chiefly along the coasts.

This is the 'Scrub-Jay' of Florida and is not to be confused with the
Florida Blue Jay. It lives in districts where scrub palmetto grows, but
also comes into gardens and grows where it soon responds to proper
treatment and becomes semi-domesticated. It nests early in April.

CANADA JAY.

_Perisoreus canadensis canadensis_

Size of the Blue Jay; a gray bird with a black
crown and white forehead, cheeks and throat.

_Range._ Northern New England and northern New
York, northward; resident, rarely straggling
southward.

Cambridge, A.V., one record, Oct.

It is singular that the Canada Jay at the north and the Florida Jay in
the south should show exceptional confidence in man, while the Blue Jay
always seems to regard him with suspicion. The very day we make camp in
the north woods the Canada Jay or Whiskey Jack becomes our guest. As
though assured of a welcome he fearlessly joins our party, helping
himself to such supplies as please his fancy. Long before our arrival,
when snow still covered the ground, he has reared his family and for the
rest of the year has only his own wants to fill.

RAVEN

_Corvus corax principalis_

Much larger than the Crow, the throat with long,
pointed feathers, instead of short, rounded ones.
L. 24.

_Range._ North America rare and local in the
Eastern States, south to New Jersey on the coast
and to Georgia in the mountains.

Crows _caw_, while Ravens _croak_; but to be sure that you have actually
seen a Raven he should be with Crows, when the Raven's much larger size
is evident. Unless, however, you should visit the few localities in the
eastern States where Ravens live you are not likely to make the bird's
acquaintance. Ravens nest on cliffs as well as in trees. Their eggs,
which resemble those of the Crow in color, are laid in April.

CROW

_Corvus brachyrhynchos brachyrhynchos. Case 1, Fig. 19; Case 3, Fig. 27_

Sexes alike in color. L. 19-1/2.

_Range._ North America; migratory at the northern
limit of its range; roosting in colonies in
winter.

Washington, abundant P.R. Ossining, common P.R.
