THE BREEDING STATUS OF THE GRAY CATBIRD IN FLORIDA

Although Howell (1932) stated that the Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis) ‘breeds sparingly in northern and central Florida,’ some recent field workers in this state have viewed his statement skeptically. Of Howell’s seven references to Florida breeding, four were made by Oscar Baynard, some of whose records of’ other species still lack confirmation.
