155. [637] P rotonoturiacit rm {Bodd.). Prothonotary Warbler. 



Rare migrant. "Mr. Chauncey Jnday reports it from Monroe County, 

 where a specimen was talien at Harrodsburg, April 2G, 1895" (A. W. 

 Butler). E. M. Kindle reported it May 28, 1892. As nests and eggs of this 

 species hare been taken in other parts of the State at an earlier date 

 than this, it is possilile that the Prothonotary Warbler may be found 

 here as a rare summer resident. 



156. [639] Hebnitheros venniroms (Gmel.). Worm-eating Warbler. 

 Common migrant and "rather common summer resident" (B. W. E.). 



April 20 to August 31. Song May 4, 1902. "Prof. W. S. Blatchley took 

 a nest and six fresh eggs, and one of the Cowbird, near Bloomiugton, 

 May 12, 1886. The nest was at the base of a clump of ferns, and was 

 composed of the leaves of "^Maiden Hair' fern. The next day Prof. B. W. 

 Evermann took a nest from a similar location, containing five of the 

 owner's eggs and two of the Cowbird" (A. W. Butleri. 



Common in the fall of 1903 in the undergrowth along creeks.
