Dendroica discolor. Prairie Warbler. — This rather rare 

 migrant and summer resident was first seen at Birchwood 

 Eeach September i, 1917. Numbers were at Warren Dunes 

 after May 12, 1920. June 5 a nest with five eggs was found 

 in a juniper bush on the lake side of the first dune, and June 

 7 a second nest with five fresh eggs was found a few rods 

 farther north, built in a small red cedar about four feet from 

 the ground. These nesting records are the farthest south for 

 the State, as the only previous report was in Ottawa County 

 May 26, 1879, by Dr. Morris Gibbs. 



Seiuriis aurocapilhis. Oven-bird. — This abundant summer 

 resident was seen at Birchwood Beach in July, August and 

 September, 1917, and after May 5, 1918. At Warren Woods 

 it was found after May 6, 1919, and at Warren Dunes after 

 May II, 1920. 



Seiurus noveboracensis noveboracensis. Water-Thrush. — 

 This migrant was first noted at Birchwood Beach August 29, 

 1917, and May 7, 1918. At Warren Woods one was taken 

 May 16, 1919. It was quite common at Warren Dunes from 

 May 5 to May 20, 1920. 



Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis. Grinnell's Water-ThrilSh. 

 — This migrant was not as common as the preceding subspe- 

 cies. One was taken May 7, 1918, at Birchwood Beach, and 

 a few were seen at Warren Woods after May 7, 19 19, and 

 at Warren Dunes after May 5, 1920. Both of these thrushes 

 were found in the same habitat, usually about the edges of 

 streams and ponds. 



Seiurus inotacilla. Louisiana Water-Thrush. — A not rare 

 summer resident of Warren Woods, where several were seen 

 after May 9, 1919. This species was found in the same hab- 

 itat as the other water-thrushes, and was paired and nesting 

 the latter half of May.
