1876. The only other Nebraska record is a specimen taken at Omaha, 

 May '4, 1893, by L. Skow. Breeds north of the United States. 



673. *Dendroica discolor (Vieillot) — Phairie Warbler. 



Like the preceding Aughey recorded this species as abundant in 

 eastern Nebraska, but recent observers do not find it so by any 

 means. He found young in Dakota county and a nest in Richard- 

 son county near the Nemaha, and recorded specimens from the for- 

 mer locality June 1, 1865, and from Lancaster county Sept. 5 and 20, 

 1874, June 2 and 14, 1875, and June 4, 1877. Since then Bruner 

 has noted it at West Point and Omaha, and L. Skow at the latter 

 locality also. It should be found breeding in small numbers along 

 the Missouri river, especially southward. 



674. *Seiurus aurocapillus (Linnaeus) — Ovenbird. 



A common summer resident; found throughout the state, but more 

 especially eastward. Arrives first week in May, breeds in June; 

 departs early in September. Omaha, Peru, Beatrice, Lincoln, West 

 Point, Neligh, Sioux county. 



675a. *Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis Ridgway — Grinnell Water- 

 thrush. 

 An uncommon migrant over the state, breeding in Sioux county. 

 Passes during second and third week in May and early in September- 

 Omaha, Lincoln, West Point, Neligh, Sioux county. 



676. *Seiurus motacilla (Vieillot) — Louisiana Water-thrush. 



Along the eastern edge of the state; breeding rather commonly 

 in suitable localities along the bluffs of the Missouri river at Omaha 

 and Peru, and in Richardson county. Occurring as a migrant a little 

 farther west, at Lincoln, Beatrice, etc. 



677. *Geothlypis formosa (Wilson) — Kentucky Warbler. 



A common summer resident and breeder in the wooded ravines of 

 the bluffs along the Missouri river, rarely as far west as Lincoln. 

 Omaha, Peru, Lincoln — breeding. 



679. *Geothlypis Philadelphia (Wilson) — Mourning Warbler. 



Aughey found this bird in the eastern part of the state, and also 

 found young birds being fed by the parents in the southeastern por- ' 

 tion, thus establishing it as a breeder. L. Skow took two specimens at 

 Omaha, May, 21, 1893, and Cary found it a not uncommon migrant 

 at Neligh, May 16 to 24, 1899. No other records. 



680. Geothlypis tolmiei (Townsend) — MacGillivray Warbler. 



Aughey records noting this species in western Nebraska, probably 

 along the Republican river, late in August, 1874. Cary noted it in 

 Monroe canyon, Sioux county, May 27, 1900, and later during 1901, 

 several times. Breeding probable. 



681a. *Geothlypis trichas occidentalis Brewster — Western Yellowthroat. 

 In the western part of the state, breeding abundantly in Sioux
