93. Nashville Warbler — Vermivora rubricapilla rubricapilla 



(Wilson) 

 Three were seen on August 20 and another on August 21. A 

 migrant only. 



94. Yellow Warbler— De«(?roica cestiva CEStiva (Gmel.) 

 Surprisingly few warblers of any species were seen, and the 



writer can offer no evidence of a single species breeding. The 

 yellow warbler was not seen until August 20, when the fall mi- 

 gration began, and on that date only two were found. 



95. Black-throated Green Warbler — Dendroica virens (Gmel.) 



On August 21 the woods seemed fairly alive with birds of this 

 species, but only for about two hours — between 10 a. m. and noon. 

 Probably twenty were seen in that time, and many others heard. 

 Later in the evening several more were heard. The writer re- 

 grets that he had to leave the woods just as the fall migration was 

 getting well under way. 



96. Maryland Yellow-throat — Geothlypis trichas trichas (Linn.) 

 Heard on August 8, and several seen after that. It is very 



likely that this warbler breeds in the county, but the writer did 

 not prove it. Prefers the wet swamps where there is a consid- 

 erable amount of young underbrush. 



97. Catbird — Duvietella carolinensis (Linn.) 



The writer was rather surprised to find so few birds of this 

 species. Although seen and heard a number of times, the cat- 

 bird was not one of the common species found. Young a few days 

 out of the nest, but no longer attended by the parents, were seen 

 on July 25. 



98. Brown Thrasher — Toxostoma rufiim (Linn.) 



Quite a common breeding species, and considerably more in 

 evidence than the preceding species. Found frequently in hard- 

 wood thickets, and but rarely in evergreen tangles. Perfectly 

 silent, the brovsm thrasher proved shy and timid, even when one 

 Intruded around the nest. 



99. House Wren — Troglodytes aedon aedon Vieill. 



Like the purple martin, the house wren is to be found in the 

 vicinity of every homestead, and about the gardens and yards In 

 the towns. Seen occasionally in the woods, the bird is shy and 

 disappears from view like a flash. The species was in song dur- 

 ing July, but was seldom heard after August 5. Breeds commonly 

 in any available spot about the buildings. 



100. Long-billed Marsh Wren — Telmatodytes palustris pahistris 



(Wilson). 



A breeding species In the cat-tail swamps around the lakes 



and streams. Several old nests were found about Cedar Lake and
