Notes on the Birds. 38 
207. ICTERIA VIRENS VIRENS (Linnieus). YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT. (683) 
A tolerably common summer resident, frequenting dense thickets, vine- 
covered fence-rows, and similar places. Apparently this curious and inter- 
esting bird has become more common in recent years. Prior to 1879, I 
never observed it in Carroll County. 
Carroll County: May 8, 1883, I heard and saw this bird for the first time 
in Carroll County. It was in Stockton’s woods near Burlington. The next 
day I heard it again on the same farm. These two were the only places 
where I heard it that year. The next year a pair remained all summer in 
a thicket on the Armstrong hill southeast of Camden; they evidently nested 
there. Noted again May 5, 1885, near Camden, also near Burlington. 
Vigo County: I noted it April 4. 1888. when I saw four or five, and 
again, May 3, when I collected a male three miles southeast of Terre Haute. 
Monroe County: Noted near Bloomington May 15, 1882, and doubtless 
seen at other times. 
208. WHILSONTA CITRINA (Boddaert). HOODED WARBLER. (684) 
Rather rare summer resident. 
My only Carroll County records are of two males collected near Camden, 
May 5, and others seen May 18, 1885. And the only Vigo County record is 
of a male taken east of the fair grounds, May 2, 1888. Mr. G. G. Williamson 
feund a nest with six young in Monroe County, May 26, 1886. One seen by 
me May 8 of the same spring. 
209. WHILSONIA PUSILLA PUSILLA (Wilson). 
WILSON’S WARBLER. (685) 
Somewhat more common than the preceding as a spring and fall migrant. 
I have but one Carroll County record, May 18, 1885, when I collected a 
specimen near Camden. In Vigo County. I obtained a male at the Hunt 
farm, May 3, 1888, two males at Sand Hill, May 12, and another male at 
Hunt's, May 15. My only Monroe County record is of one collected May §, 
1886. 
210. WHILSONIA CANADENSIS (Linnzeus). CANADA WARBLER. (686) 
Rather rare migrant. 
Carroll County: May 24, 1883, shot two, the first I ever saw, near Bur- 
lington; May 12, 1885, got one; several others obtained May 12 to 18, near 
Camden. 
Vigo County: May 2, 1888, got a male; May 3, saw one; and May 12, 
got a male on Honey Creek five miles southeast of Terre Haute. 
Monroe County: May 4, 1886, got a female northeast of Bloomington ; 
only one seen. 
211. SrropHaGA RUTICILLA (Linnieus). REDSTART. (687) 
This beautiful little bird is one of our most common summer residents. 
It is usually seen in the deep woods especially near water.
