I found it first on May 19, 1921, at Devils Lake, where it was a common 

 summer resident. Jt was common in Medora in the grove of cottonwoods 

 along the Little Missouri, June 16 to 20, and was also seen at Williston and 

 Bottineau. It no doubt occurs throughout the state where suitable habitats 

 are found. 



265. Laniznreo flamfrons (Vieillot). Yellow-throated V'irco. 



JuDD, 1917, p. 26; rare, taken in July in the Turtle Mountains, juveniles seen. 



Mr. Williams' Collection contains a specimen taken at Grafton, July i, 

 19 14. The only one seen at Devils Lake was taken in the woods of the 

 Rock Island Military Reserve on August 19, 1920. It was not noted again 

 until July 25, 192 1, when one was taken at Grafton. Doubtless it is rare 

 throughout the state. 



266. Lanivireo solitarius solitarius (Wilson). Blue-headed Vireo. 

 CouES, 1878, p. 576; one specimen of this rather rare species was secured June 



4, 1873, at Pembina, which is probably about its northern limit. ScHMroT, 1904; 

 eastern North Dakota, rare. 



The only one seen was a mounted specimen in the Williams Collection 

 taken at Grafton, May 6, 192 1, by Mr. Henry Williams. 



267. Mniotilta varia (Linnaeus). Black and White Warbler. 



Allen, 1875, p. 52; a few were seen near Fort Rice, Morton County, June 10 to 

 20, 1873. CouES, 1878, p. 563; a single specimen was taken June 9, 1873. at Pembina, 

 where it probably breeds. Judd, 1917, p. 26; tolerably common summer resident of 

 the Turtle Mountains, first noted May 11. Freeman, 1919, p. 15; transient visitant, 

 fairly common in spring migration, May 7. 



The species was present at Devils Lake from August 20 to 22, 1920. 

 These birds were probably on their way south. Specimens were taken at 

 Lake Upsilon, Turtle Mountains, on July 31, 1920. At Medora, on June 22, 

 1921, a male was taken in a red cedar thicket at the edge of the Little Mis- 

 souri, where it no doubt nested. A pair of the birds was seen at Turtle 

 Mountains, near Bottineau, July 13, 1921. Mr. William Shunk gave me a 

 record for Ransom County of May 13, 19 16. 



268. Vermivora celata celata (Say). Orange-crowned Warbler. 



CouES, 1878, p. 564; observed during the fall migration in September along the 

 Mouse River, where ten specimens were taken from September 16 to 30, 1873. Judd, 

 IQ17, p. 26; tolerably comimon migrant, taken as early as May 8. 



I did not see this species in life, but saw a mounted bird in the Williams 

 Collection taken at Grafton, May 10, 19 14. Mr. WiUiams told me that they 

 were not common there either in the spring or fall. 



269. Vermivora peregrina (Wilson). Tennessee Warbler. 



Baird, 1864, p. 179; a male from the Upper Missouri, Dakota, 1843, collected by 

 J. G. Bell. CouES, 1878, p. 563; after the first of June the heavy timber of the 

 river bottom at Pembina was filled with birds. Of thirteen specimens secured June 

 2 and 3, 1873, only three were males, as the migration was nearly over. Judd, 1917, 

 p. 26; tolerably conxmon migrant, seen the first of June.
