191. Ldiiliirco solltariiis. — Blue-beaded Vireo. 



Usually fairly common during the spring migrations, but seldom 

 seen in tbe fall. It is a woodland bird, occasionally seen in parks. 

 It is found in much tbe same situations as tbe Yellow-throated, but 

 inclines to feed nearer tbe ground, among tbe lower branches of tbe 

 trees, or even in tbe underbrush. It does not sing much. I have 

 found it in considerable numbers on the sand spit in the spring 

 migrations, but none in the fall. The median date of spring ar- 

 rival is April 20, and of departure May IG, the latest being May 25, 

 1900. The fall records are September 12, 1898; September 21, and 

 October ">, 1900. All fall birds were singing. 



102. Vireo griscits. — White-eyed Vireo. 



One was seen about tbe middle of the sand spit on April 27 and 

 captured there near tbe same place on May 4, 1008. Another one 

 was well seen in a woods south of Oberlin on April 20, 1908. These 

 birds were in tbe characteristic habitat for tbe species, the bushes 

 along tb? margin of the marsh on the sand spit, and tbe brush 

 fringe of the woods near Oberlin. These are all of tbe records for 

 this vireo in tbe region. 



193. Miilotilta raria. — Black and White Warblei*. 



Common during tlie spring migrations, but scarce in fall. A few 

 pairs remain to breed in tbe river gorges in and near the evergreen 

 growths. This warbler is found wherever there is any considerable 

 growth of trees. Numbers are found every spring on the Oberlin 

 College campus, and elsewhere about the town. Tbe median date 

 of spring arrival is April 29, and of departure of the bulk May 7. 

 Most fall dates of last seen are in the last week of September. It 

 was noted on East Sister island on August 28, 1905, and on Pelee 

 island on August 29, 30, 31, and September 1 of the same year. Of 

 course these birds were in migration. One was noted during the 

 last week of July, 1907, in tbe vicinity of tbe Lake Laboratory, 

 which may have bred on the sand spit ; otherwise it is a common 

 migrant all along tbe course of tbe sand spit. 



194. rrotKJiiotaria citrea. — Protbonotary Warbler. 



The only records are May 9 and 14, 1904, at Oak Point, one speci- 

 men on each date. The lagoon and its environs at Cedar Point fur- 

 nish nearly typical breeding habitats. 



195. Helmitheros vermivonis. — ^ Worm-eating Warbler. 



One near the east end of the sand spit in the bushes on tbe beach 

 side, April 20, 1007. This is tbe only unquestionable reconi for the 

 whole region. ITnsubstantiated reports of the occurrence of others 

 have come to me.
