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 aurocapillus) . 
Common migrant; for the spring migration, the earliest rec- 
ord is April 15, 1921, and the latest Ma}^ 18, 1908. The earliest 
date of return is August 19, 1921, and the latest November 15, 
1907. 
16. Water-Thrush (Seiurus novehoracensis) . 
Spring, late siimuier and early fall inigTant. 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 {Serinrus motacilla) . 
Bather 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 niimber of young birds, unable or just able to fly. 
On June 10, 1921, a nest Avas found which contained four young. 
19. Southern Yelloav-throat {Goethlppis triclias ignota) . 
Some records may refer to G. triclias. A very common 
breeder ; it is a permanent resident, as it Avinters occasionally. 
20. Yelloav-breasted Chat (Icteria virens) . 
Fairly common, but very local, siimmer resident; the earliest 
date of arrival is April 28, 1908; I 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 
Avas built in a small bush in a very accessible place, — among a 
scattered groAvth of bushes on the edge of a field. This Chat 
Avas remarkably iinsnspicions, and allowed me to watcli her as 
she incubated from a distance of seven or eight feet.
