14.2 Attwater, Birds of San Anfoni'o, Texas. [October 



191. Seiurus motacilla. Louisiana Water-thrush. — Rare migrant. 

 A male obtained on April 9, 18S9, is the only one I have taken. It was 

 shot close to the Medina River, eighteen miles southwest of San Antonio. 



192. Geothlypis formosa. Kentucky Warbler. — Tolerably common 

 summer resident. They make their nests among the tall weeds in the 

 river bottom lands. One of the few birds whose nests are made on the 

 ground in this region. 



193. Geothlypis Philadelphia. Mourning Warbler. — Rare migrant. 

 194- Geothlypis macgillivrayi. Macgillivray's Warbler. — Rare 



migrant. Probably occurs regularly, though I did not meet with it till 

 1891, when I procured several specimens, all females. It must be a late 

 migrant, as the first were taken May 18 and again on May 20. 



195. Geothlypis trichas. Maryland Yellowthroat. — Yellowthroats 

 are very common during migration, the greater number of them being 

 intermediate between trichas and occidentalis. A few remain all winter 

 among the rushes along the river. 



196. Geothlypis trichas occidentalis. Western Yellowthroat. — 

 Common migrant. Two late records in 1S91 are May 16, male, and May 

 20, female. 



197. Icteria virens. Yellow-breasted Chat. — Common summer 

 resident. 



198. Sylvania mitrata. Hooded Warbler. — Rare migrant, common 

 in 1890. 



199. Sylvania pusilla. Wilson's Warbler. — Tolerably common mi- 

 grant.

 resident, and abundant during migrations. 



203. Anthus spragueii. Sprague's Pipit. — Rare migrant. 



204. Oroscoptes montanus. Sage Thrasher. — Rare migrant. I took 

 one of these birds in 1884, and observed another with it, but have never 

 come across it since. 



205. Mimus polyglottos. Mockingbird. — Abundant resident, and a 

 great nuisance around vineyards. Mr. Toudouze shot and poisoned 

 nearly five hundred of these grape robbers among his vines in 1890. 



206. Galeoscoptes carolinensis. Catbird. — Migrant; tolerably com- 

 mon. 



207. Harporhynchus rufus. Brown Thrasher. — Rare migrant and 

 winter resident. 



208. Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus. Cactus Wren. — Common 

 resident. 



209. Salpinctes obsoletus. Rock Wren. — Rare migrant and summer 

 resident. In a rock quarry a mile north of the city several pairs of these 

 birds breed every year.
