RED-EYED VIREO 141 



eight different Red-eyes came in 1905, in 

 which year five singing birds were recorded 

 on May 27. Twice the arrival of the species 

 has been on May 15 and twice on May 16. 

 The arrival in other seasons has been be- 

 tween May 1 8 and 23. 



There is no record of a bird remaining 

 more than two or three days, except in 

 1908. In that year one, sometimes two 

 singing birds were present from May 24 to 

 June I, suggesting a not improbable nesting 

 of the species. Mr. E. E. Caduc informs 

 me that he heard almost daily a Red-eyed 

 Vireo singing in the Garden on the Charles 

 Street side up to July 3 of that year and an- 

 other on the Common. As he left the city 

 for the summer on that day, he was unable 

 to carry the record further. No vireo's nest 

 was discovered on the leafless boughs in the 

 autumn by him or me. Four or five years 

 earlier a beautiful, well-preserved nest of 

 the summer was seen on the Common in the 

 autumn and winter months following, to 

 that extent testifying to a nesting of either 

 the Red-eyed or the Warbling Vireo.
