LIST OF BIRDS IN THE PARK 117 



note from that of the Red-eye. They come and go with the 

 Warbling Vireo. 



Blue-headed Vireo, Lanivireo solitarius solitarius (Wil- 

 son) tr. I have found this Vireo but a few times in the Park. 

 May 3d, 1912, I watched one as it sang from the haw trees in 

 the northwest part of the Park; again in 1918 and in 1919 I 

 have found this spectacled bird in this region. 



White-eyed Vireo, Vireo griseus griseus (Boddaert) sr. 

 These interesting Vireos are rather common among the scrag- 

 gling bushes of the more secluded portions of the Park. They 

 arrive about the first of May. 



Bell's Vireo, Vireo belli belli Audobon sr. Bell's 

 Vireo is rare within the Park, though common enough along 

 brushy fence rows bordering the Park. They nest about my 

 home every summer. They are here from the first of May 

 until the latter half of September. (Sept. 24, 1916.) 



Black and White Warbler, Mniotilta varia (Linn) sr. 

 These Warblers are rather uncommon in the Park during sum- 

 mer though frequently seen in the latter half of April. They 

 nest in the less frequented woods. Because of its interesting 

 feeding habits, its distinctive markings, and the ease with 

 which it may be approached, it is better known than other far 

 more numerous Warblers. 



Prothonotary Warbler, Prothonotaria citrea (Boddaert) 

 sr. This Warbler is common along the Missouri River bot- 

 tom, but is rare in the Park even during migration. I have but 

 two records of its nesting in the Park. These were near the 

 Blue River, for it loves to stay near waterways. 



Worm-eating Warbler, Helmilheros vermivorus (Gmelin)
