122 BIRDS OF SWOPE PARK 



These interesting Warblers are fairly numerous in the secluded 

 portions of the Park; quite a number nest in the same locali- 

 ties in which the Oven-bird, Parula Warbler and Cerulean 

 Warbler inhabit. They are here from the first of May until 

 the latter part of September. 



Connecticut Warbler, Oporornis agilis (Wilson) tr. This 

 is a rare migrant for this region. I have found it but once 

 in the Park, May 16, 1908. 



Mourning Warbler, Oporornis Philadelphia (Wilson) tr. 

 These Warblers are not so common but that the bird student 

 usually makes special note of those seen. I usually find one 

 or two among the red haw trees in the northwest part of the 

 Park in middle May. 



Maryland Yellow-throat, Geothlypis tricas (Linn) sr. 

 Maryland Yellow-throats arrive from the south during the 

 latter half of April, and from then until the first week in Sep- 

 tember they may be found in their favorite haunts along 

 thicket-bordered streams. Several pairs nest in the Park. 



Yellow-breasted Chat, Icteria virens virens (Linn. sr. 

 Quite a number of Chats nest along the brushy hillsides in 

 Swope Park. They are prone to make their presence known 

 by their peculiar cries and antics. They arrive about the last 

 of April. 



Wilson's Warbler, Wilsonia pusila pusila (Wilson) tr. 

 This is one of the more uncommon warblers that passes 

 through the Park during migration. 



Canada Warbler, Wilsonia canadensis (Linn) tr. It is 

 quite unusual to find this Warbler in the region of Kansas
