has once been found breeding, a set of four eggs being taken by I. S. 

 Trostler, June 23, 1894. 



660. Dendroica castanea (Wilson) — Bay-breasted Warbler. 



The right of this warbler to be considered as a Nebraska bird rests 

 entirely upon Aughey's record. He found it occasional in eastern 

 Nebraska and took a specimen in September, 1874. This is an 

 eastern species barely reaching the Missouri, and breeding from the 

 northern states northward. 



661. Dendroica striata (Forster) — Black-poll Warbler. 



A common migrant over the eastern half of the state, passing 

 ' through during the second and third weeks in May and in August. 

 Breeds from the northern states northward. Omaha, Lincoln, 

 Beatrice, Peru, West Point, Neligh, Cherry county. 



662. Dendroica blackburniae (Gmelin) — Blackbtjrnian Warbler. 



Aughey states that he has occasionally seen this well marked 

 warbler in the borders of woodlands in eastern Nebraska, and Bruner 

 has noted it at West Point and Omaha. It breeds from northern 

 Minnesota northward. 



663a. Dendroica dominica albilora Ridgway — Sycamore Warbler. 



Aughey's record of dominica undoubtedly refers to this subspecies, 

 which breeds in the Mississippi valley from Texas to central Illinois 

 and eastern Kansas, and stragglers even to Wisconsin and Michigan. 

 He says he has seen it only along the Nemaha in southeastern Ne- 

 braska, where he took a specimen in September, 1874; no one else 

 has reported it. It probably occasionally breeds in the extreme 

 southeastern part of the state. 



667. Dendroica virens (Gmelin) — Black-throated Green Warbler. 



A rare migrant through eastern third of state. Aughey records 

 taking three specimens in Dakota county June 5 and 6, 1865, and two 

 in Lancaster county June 14,1875. Bruner has observed it at Omaha, 

 Florence, and Weeping Water. Cary reported it twice from Neligh, 

 late in April, 1898, and May 4, 1899. Breeds from northern Illinois 

 northward. 



671. Dendroica vigorsii (Audubon) — Pine Warbler. 



Aughey says this warbler occurs here during early spring and 

 autumn, and that he took specimens in Dakota county in April, 

 1865, and Lancaster county in April, 1875 and 1877. He also took 

 one Sept. 30, 1876. No other definite Nebraska records of this bird. 

 It breeds from Minnesota and Manitoba southward, and may be found 

 nesting in this state. 



672. Dendroica palmarum (Gmelin) — Palm Warbler. 



Aughey recorded this species as abundant in eastern Nebraska, 

 which it certainly is not now, but is rare. He noted it in both early 

 spring and late, fall, and took specimens April 10,1875, and Oct. "1,
