“A common summer resident at Washington, from April 20 
to the middle of September. Wm. Palmer found a nest with 
3 small young on June 1, ’94” (Richmond). On May 27 (’93, 
Blogg) a nest held 3 half-incubated eggs; on June 15 (’93, 
Fisher) one contained young birds, and on June 19 (’92, Wholey) 
one had 4 eggs ready to hatch. 
Vireo solitarius (629). Blue-headed Vireo. 
A regular migrant, not common. Noted from April 19 (’93, 
Resler and Wholey) to May 11 (93, Pleasants), and from Sep- 
tember 26 (’94, Resler) to October 22 (’92, Gray). During 
spring single birds are usually seen; in fall, small parties of 4 
or 5. At Washington “not uncommon in migrations, April 13 
(88, Hasbrouck) to May 10 (’85) and October 8 (’88) to October 
26 (’90)’ (Richmond). At Hagerstown “a few were seen in 
the spring migrations; they had a decided partiality for some 
climbing roses, and were very unsuspicious” (Small). 
Vireo noveboracensis (631). White-eyed Vireo. 
Common summer resident from April 22 (’91, Resler) to 
September 23 (’94). At Washington “from April 12 (’90) to 
October 12 (’90)” (Richmond). Nesting notes range from May 
27 (’95, Fisher), 2 fresh eggs, to August 6 (’93), 2 birds about 
two-thirds grown. Sets are 1 of 2, 3 of 3 and 1 of 4. 
While the nest is usually placed near water, or in a swampy 
place, on July 4, 94, I found a nest containing young nearly 
ready to fly, on top of a high, dry hill, fully § of a mile from 
the nearest spring. 
Family Myrorrtip£— Wood Warblers. 
Mniotilta varia (636). Black and White Warbler. 
First noted on April 15(’93, Gray;’95, Resler), and numerous

season comes on, it is again abundant from early in August to
