OF VIRGINIA 275 
mon at White Top Mountain in July, 1888, but did not 
find positive evidence of its breeding. It was not until 
May 30th, 1913, that I had positive evidence of its breed- 
ing in our State, my father finding on that date a nest sus- 
pended from a lower limb of a giant balsam growing on 
the edge of Mountain Lake. It contained three half- 
grown young, which, with the parents, were collected. 
They are a rare breeding bird with us, and their habits and 
food differ little from that of the Yellow-throated Vireo. 
On June 2nd I found another nest of this species, which, 
on the completion of the set of eggs, was collected with 
the parent birds. Their song is similar to that of the Red- 
eyed Vireo, but much more harsh. Isolated pairs are 
scattered widely apart, and the nests extremely hard to 
locate. The construction of the nest, material used, and 
eggs, are almost identical with those of the White-eyed 
Vireo. Two broods a season, second settings July Ist. 
Another nest, with young, was located on a lower limb 
of a very large rhododendron, growing on the side of a 
ravine.
