irs The Wilson Bulletix — No. 81. 



Lanhis liKhn-icianns migrans. — Migrant Shrike. 



Seen only during the WIO studie?. when a pair was lound in 

 the border of the fields north of the Fishing Point swamp. The 

 nest was not foiuid. 



MrcosijJra olirarca. — Ked-eyed Vireo. 



Present on all visits to the island, and in numbers sufficient to 

 he called common. In 1!)10 it was pretty closely confined to the 

 deciduous trees until the migrations began, when it spread all over 

 the jioint. and inci-eased in numbers. The singing was incessant 

 during daylight. 



11 rco.si/lra yilva [lilra. — Warbling Vireo. 



A few pairs seemed to have nested ou the island in 1910, and 

 these, with others, were found on the point during the migration 

 waves. There was not much singing among these birds. They 

 affiliated with the warblers, feeding among the cedar trees. 



Miiiotilta raria. — Black and White Warbler. 



Found on all visits to the island. In 1910 the first was noted on 

 August 11, and every day thereafter. It became common on the 

 ITth, and remained common during our stay. There were birds in 

 all stages of plumage, but the young plumages predominated. No 

 places seemed to be especially preferred. 

 Frotonotaria citrca. — Prothonotary Warbler. 



We found one individual in full plumage on the north border of 

 the Fishing Point swamp, in the early morning of August 22, 1911. 

 This bird was leisurely feeding on some moth, and permitted us 

 to approach within ten feet. It uttered only the chipping note 

 peculiar to this species. 

 Vermirora pitniK. — Blue-winged Warbler. 



There were two seen on August 26, and one ou September 1, 

 1910, in the cedar trees near camp. We had expected to find this 

 warbler in some numbers in the deciduous belt near the swamp, 

 but were disappointed. The thi*ee seen were clearly not breeding 

 birds. 



Vermii'wa chrysoptcra. — Golden-winged Warbler. 



One was recorded on August 27 and 28, 1910, in the cedar trees 

 near camp. There was no evidence that they were not migrating 

 individuals. 



I'ermiixjia rnhrUapiUa ruhricapUUi. — Nashville Warbler. 



Found in 1910 only. The first was recorded on August 15, and 

 the birds were in considerable numbers after the 16th. This spe- 

 cies was one of those showing marked fluctuations in numbers
