Casual records. — There is only a single record each for Kansas and 

 Montana, though it is quite possible that this vireo is a fairly regular 

 migrant through both States. In Kansas specimens were collected 

 September 2 and 24, 1922, in Doniphan County ; and in Montana one 

 was collected on June 3, 1910, near Johnson Lake, Sheridan County.

EASTERN WARBLING VIREO 



HABITS 



Contributed bt Winsor Marbett Tyler 



The warbling vireo, if it were not for its song, would not be a 

 notable species, for it is a little bird in leaf -green plumage, inconspicu- 

 ous as it moves about among the foliage on the highest branches of 

 its favorite elms and poplars where it spends the summer days, sur- 

 rounded by green leaves and almost hidden by them.
