LOUISIANA WATER-THRUSH. 
“Rare. A specimen in my collection was taken on 
June 30; another captured in April gave evidence that 
the bird was breeding. That taken in June being well 
within the breeding season, cannot be considered a mi- 
grant, while the functional activity of the ovary of the 
latter example proved that it was a breeding female.”

187. OPORORNIS FORMOSUS (Wilson). 
KENTUCKY WARBLER. 
“Common. Summer resident. Breeds.” (1891c). 
“April 10, 1893. The Kentucky warbler was heard 
singing yesterday and again today. His monotonous 
‘Tweedle! Tweedle! Tweedle!’ proclaim his arrival and 
also his intention of rearing a family at some early pe- 
riod. This warbler is common in Hale County but his re- 
tired habits make it not an easy task to study his manner 
of nidification. He is very shy, affecting the dense cover 
and undergrowth bordering some stream of water, and 
rarely leaving the ground to fly into the trees ’till he is 
either seeking a mate or wishes to exhibit to his admiring 
companion that he is what his name indicates: Formosa 
or beautiful. Then his “T'weedle! Tweedle! Tweedle!’ re- 
sounds overhead, as he flies from tree to tree. He re- 
turns from winter quarters about the first week in April
