Williams, Birds of Leoti County, Fla. I Oct 



They feed extensively on the berries of mistletoe, wild olive (Prunus) and 

 China tree. Sometimes found in company with bluebirds and often 

 feeds with robins. 



115. Lanius ludovicianus. Loggerhead Shrike. — Common resi- 

 dent. 



116. Vireo olivaceus. Red-eyed Vireo. — I cannot regard this bird 

 as anything else than a rare resident. I have never found its eggs, but 

 have seen an old nest. It probably passes further south in winter, my 

 latest record being October 10. 



117. Vireo fiavifrons. Yellow-throated Vireo. — Rare migrant; 

 one record only, October 15, 1900. 



118. Vireo noveboracensis. White-eyed Vireo. — Perhaps resident, 

 though I have no summer record for the county. I found it in Franklin 

 Count}', near the Gulf coast, in July and August, 1901. It is not a com- 

 mon bird in winter. 



1 19. Mniotilta varia. Black and White Warbler. — Winter resi- 

 dent, but not common. Arrives in August, remains till April. Mv earli- 

 est and latest records are August 5 (1896) and March 31 (1901). 



120. Protonotaria citrea. Prothonotary Warbler. — Summer resi- 

 dent, but not common. I have taken two sets of eggs, the last April 29, 

 1899. In both cases the nest was in a cypress swamp. 



121. Helminthophila bachmanii. Bachman's Warbler. — Only one 

 record. I took this specimen on August 4, 1900. 



122. Compsothlypis americana. Parula Warbler. — So far as I 

 have been able to discover, this is a migrant only. I found it quite 

 abundant on August 6, 1896, and in March, 1903. I have no records for 

 any other month, though it is probable that it occurs in September and 

 April.i 



123. Dendroica aestiva. Yellow Warbler. — I believe this is a 

 mio^rant only, although I found it rather common in Franklin County 

 between July 20 and August i, 1901. It is not resident with us in winter. 



124. Dendroica coronata. Myrtle Warbler. — Common winter resi- 

 dent ; one of the commonest birds we have. Spends much of its time on 

 the ground ; almost a terrestrial bird in Leon County. It moults before 

 leaving for the north in spring. 



I2t;. Dendroica dominica. Yellow-throated Warbler — Common 

 summer resident; nests early. As I have a record for January 3 (1901), it 

 is probable that the bird is a resident. 



120. Dendroica vigorsii. Pine Warbler. — Resident; more abundant 

 in winter. 



127. Dendroica palmarum. Palm Warbler. — Winter resident, spend- 

 ing most of its time on the ground. 



1 Since writing the above I have discovered evidence that quite conclusively 

 proves that this species nests in the county. I collected two specimens, one 

 undoubtedly young of the year, on July 23, 1904.
