THE WILSON BULLETIN— December, 1922 
earliest record is September 24, 1921, and the latest is April 22, 
1920. 
14. Prairie Warbler ( Dendroica discolor). 
Common in spring and fall, but has been recorded once in 
June, — June 10, 1922. The earliest record is April 6, 1919, and 
the latest October 23, 1909. 
15. Oven-bird (Seiurus aurocajnllus) . 
Common migrant; for the spring migration, the earliest rec- 
ord is April 15, 1921, and the latest May 18, 1908. The earliest 
date of return is August 19, 1921, and the latest November 15, 
1907. 
16. Water-Thrush (Seiurus novel) or acensis) . 
Spring, late summer and early fall migrant. This bird is 
much less common than it was ten years ago. April 6, 1910, is 
the earliest spring record and May 26, 1920 the latest; on the 
return migration, July 7, 1914, is the earliest and September 20, 
1907, the latest. 
17. Louisianna Water-thrush (Seriurus motacilla) . 
Rather rare summer resident; the records are too incomplete 
to form any idea of its period of stay here. On June 24, 1921, 
a pair of these birds were observed feeding a young bird on 
the bank of a stream. 
18. Kentucky Warbler ( Oporornis formosus ) . 
Common summer resident in heavily timbered swamps and 
wet woods. The earliest arrival in spring is April 28, 1909. 
I have seen a number of young birds, unable or just able to fly. 
On June 10, 1921, a nest was found which contained four young. 
1!). Southern Yellow-throat ( Goethlgpis trichas ignota). 
Some records may refer to G. trichas. A very common 
breeder; it is a permanent resident, as it winters occasionally. 
20. Yellow-breasted Chat ( Icteria circus ) . 
Fairly common, but very local, summer resident; the earliest 
date of arrival is April 28, 1908; 1 have never seen it after July. 
The only nest I have seen was discovered on June 15, 1921, and 
contained three eggs; four eggs were laid in all. This nest 
was built in a small bush in a very accessible place, — among a 
scattered growth of bushes on the edge of a field. This Chat 
was remarkably unsuspicious, and allowed me to watch her as 
she incubated from a distance of seven or eight feet.
