The Birds of Warreu County, O. 131 



65. EMPiDf)NAX prsiLLUs TKAiLLii (Aud.) — Traill's fly- 

 catcher. " Rare migrant in May and September," at Cincin- 

 nati. " Common Summer resident in central Ohio, from May 

 to September. Breeds." 



66. Otocoris alphstkis praticola Hen.sh. — Prairie 

 horned lark. "Habitat, upper Mississippi Valley and the 

 region of the great lakes."— A. O. U. Checklist. Almost cer- 

 tainly identified. Probably a rare Summer resident. On July 

 2, 1890, I .saw, about two miles south of Lebanon, what was 

 unquestionably a horned lark. What was probably the same 

 bird, was seen at the same place the following day, making 

 the identification certain as to species, but not as to variety, 

 which, however, was almost certainly that named above. The 

 bird was in song, and probably was breeding. 



F.\MILY CORVID.E. 



67. CoRVUS CORAX sinuatus (Wagl.)— Raven. Formerly 

 a not uncommon resident in this part of the vState, at which 

 time it almost certainly occurred in this county, but I have 

 been unable to get any certain record of its appearance here.
