210 Woodruff, Birds of Shannon and Carter Counties, Mo. [adIi! 



117. Dendroica blackburnise. Blackburnian Warbler.^ — A rare 

 migrant. One was seen in Shannon Co. May 13, and at Grandin one May 

 16, and several May 17. 



*118. Dendroica dominica albilora. Sycamore Warbler. ^ — Not 

 common in Sliannon Co. Arrived March 28. They were fairly common 

 in Carter Co. These birds were invariably found high up in pines on top 

 of the ridges. None were seen or heard in the ^'alleys, even where there 

 were plenty of sycamores. 



119. Dendroica virens. Black-throated Green Warbler. — Not 

 common. Single birds were seen in Shannon Co. on May 1, 4 and 10 and 

 several on May 12 and 13. At Grandin one was seen May 17. 



*120. Dendroica vigorsii. Pine Warbler.^, * — The Pine Warbler 

 was already present on my arrival at Grandin March 8, and in Shannon Co. 

 March 10. It was common tliroughout my stay in Shannon Co. in the 

 pine woods. I found no nests, but saw the birds gathering nesting mate- 

 rial and carrying it up into the pines several times in the latter part of 

 March, and on April 25 a nestling was secured, too young to fly, which 

 had fallen from its nest and was being fed on the ground by its parents. 

 I also found a number of full-grown young birds in nestling plumage before 

 the middle of May, so there can be no question that it is a common summer 

 resident in tliis region. 



*121. Dendroica discolor. Prairie Warbler. — Arrived April 24 in 

 Shannon Co., and became common on and after April 26. Common at 

 Grandin. 



122. Seiurus aurocapillus. Ovenbird. — Arrived April 19 and became 

 abundant April 26. Common in both Shannon and Carter Cos. 



*123. Seiurus noveboracensis notabiUs. Grinnell's Waterthrush.' 

 — A common transient. The first were seen in Shannon Co. May 9, and 

 the last (one) at Grandin May 24. The three specimens secured May 9, 

 12 and 21, were identified by Mr. H. C. Oberholser as belonging to tliis 

 subspecies. 



*124. Seiurus motacilla. Louisiana Waterthrush. — First seen 

 March 21.* I found it common in the Current River valley April 19 and 

 20. None were seen after May 2, though they would probably have been 

 found along the Current River had I re\asited it. At Grandin I saw none 

 at all. 



*125. Oporornis formosa. Kentucky Warbler. — Arrived April 28 

 and was common thereafter. 



*126. Oporornis Philadelphia. Mourning Warbler.^ — A specimen 

 secured May 13 at Eudj', Shannon Co., was the only one seen.
