32 RIDGWAY ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB. 



58. Ampelis cedrorum (Vieill.). [Cedar Waxwing). Very 

 scarce in summer, but young not long from the nest have been 

 shot. 



59. Lanius ludovicianus Linn. [Loggerhead Shrike). 

 Common. Man}' nests found in orchards, but many more in the 

 smaller honey locust [Gleditschia triacanthos) trees on the com- 

 mons and along roadsides, the trunks and branches of these trees 

 being densely armed with frightful thorns, rendering access to the 

 nests by climbing an impossibility. 



60. Vireo olivaceus (Linn.). {Red-eyed Vired). Breed- 

 ing sparingly in groves and other woods in the outskirts. 



61. Vireo gilvus (Vieill.). [Warbling Vired). Not rare 

 among shade trees throughout the town. 



62. Vireo noveboracensis (Gmel.). [White-eyed Vireo). 

 Common in the hazel thickets and brier-patches in the outskirts. 



63. Protonotaria citrea (Bodd.). [Prothonotary War- 

 bler). A few nests of this species have been found in the vicinity 

 of ponds (the then existing woods having since been cleared) be 

 tween the town and the river. 



64. Helminthophila pinus (Linn.). [Blue-winged War- 

 bler). The first nest I ever found of this species, and the first of 

 which there is any authentic record, was found in the bushy and 

 partly cleared corner of a field well inside the town. 



65. Dendroica .estiva (Gmel.). [Tellow Warbler). One 

 of the most abundant species, especially in orchards. 



66. Dendroica c-erulea (Wils.). [Cerulean Warbler). 

 Breeding within the town limits in low wooded places, being abun- 

 dant in woods of bottom lands along the river. 



67. Dendroica dominica albilora Baird. [Sycamore 

 Warbler). Rather common in trees along the river bank. 



68. Seiurus aurocapillus (Linn.). [Oven-bird). Com- 

 mon in the groves in the outskirts. 



69. Seiurus motacilla ( Vieill. ). ( Louisiana Water- 

 Thrush). Always to be found in certain suitable localities. 



70. Geothlypis Formosa (Wils.). [Kentucky Warbler). 

 Common in all damp, rich woods. 



71. Geothlypis trichas (Linn.). [Maryland Yellow- 

 throat). Found wherever there are brier-patches or other localities 

 suited to its habits. 



72. Icteria virens (Linn.), [ Tellow -breasted Chat).
