159. LANIVIREO FLAVIFRONS (Vieillot). 
YELLOW-THROATED VIREO. 
The first recorded specimen of this vireo was taken 
at Greensboro, June 17, 1876. The stomach contained 
“a worm and debris of beetles.” 
“Not common. Has not been observed during the 
summer by me, though Mr. Henry Young has found it 
breeding near Greensboro. Three specimens were taken 
by me last fall.”” (1891b). 
When the Doctor published the foregoing, he must 
have forgotten his note of June 3, 1888, which follows: 
“Saw yellow-throated vireo (Vireo flavifrons). These 
birds were in a gum thicket in an old field. I examined 
one carefully with a field glass and saw distinctly the 
yellow loral stripe and circumorbital ring of yellow, also 
the yellow extending over chin, throat and breast; and the 
white wing bars on median and greater coverts.”
