77. Spiza americana (Gmel.) Dickcissel. 
A common summer resident, nesting in the meadows. Arrives during the 
first week in May. 
78. Piranga erythromelas (Vieill.) Scarlet Tanager. 
A common bird during the spring migrations; was first observed this season 
on April 23 and had disappeared northward by the 10th of May. The males and 
females consort together throughout the migrations. 
79. Progne subis (Linn.) Purple Martin. 
An abundant summer resident, arriving about the last week in March and 
becoming common a week later. 
80. Petrochelidon lunifrons (Say.) Cliff Swallow. 
A common summer resident. 
81. Chelidon erythrogaster (Bodd.) Barn Swallow. 
An abundant summer resident; was first noted this season on April 22. 
82. Clivicola riparia (Linn.) Cliff Swallow. 
A very uncommon, or scarce, summer resident in the immediate vicinity of 
Richmond. 
83. Ampelis cedrorum (Vieill.) Cedar Waxwing. 
An abundant and irregularly migratory bird, and gregarious. Probably 
resident some years. A bird that wanders widely about, largely according to food 
supply. It is, however, probably most abundant during spring and fall. It nests 
rather late in summer. 
84. Lanius borealis (Vieill.) Northern Shrike. 
A casual winter resident. 
85. Lanius ludovicianus (Linn.) Loggerhead Shrike. 
A rather uncommon summer resident. I first noted it this season on March 
22. Those specimens which I have taken here seem to more nearly grade into 
ludovicianus than into excubitorides. 
86. Vireo olivaceus (Linn.) Red-eyed Vireo. 
An abundant summer resident, arriving during the latter part of April. It 
disappears in the fall by the middle of September. It is an untiring songster, 
and one of the few birds whose warblings may be heard in the woodland during 
the heat of noonday. 
87. Vireo gilvus (Vieill.) Warbling Vireo. 
An abundant summer resident and an untiring songster, singing from the 
time of its arrival in the spring until the first weeks of September. I first noted 
it this season on April 22.
