common, known as I lutton's, and another very 

 rare, bcarini;- the name of Mr. A. W. Anthony 

 — Anthony's Vireo. 



THE WARBLING VIREO. 



CiENERAL DESCRH^TIOX : 



Upper parts : clear grayish-olive. 



Under parts : whitish. The sides are yellowish. 



Length, 5 to 5.55 inches. 

 Found in tops of shade-trees in town, soon after 

 arrival. Then they disappear for nesting, and return 

 later. 



This member of the Vireo family is distributed 

 over nearly the whole of North America. I 

 have heard him sing in New England, in the 

 southern Middle States and in Minnesota. And 

 here again '' His continuous flowing warble with 

 an alto undertone " (Chapman), may be heard 

 late in May in the thick foliage of our shade- 

 trees ; but lie may not easily be seen, even with 

 a glass. LI is song will be heard there morning 

 and afternoon, though not toward evening. It 

 is said by some to resemble that of the Purple 

 L'inch. He sings while in constant motion, 

 seeking his food.
