In the 1907 list there is a notable absence of many common summer residents 
of the region, as: Sturnella m. magna , Empidonax virescens , R. acadicus , 
Agclaius plioeniceus, Pipilo eryth ro p h th alnius, Lanins l. migrans, etc. The 
individuals of the species listed were not at all common and were very retiring. A 
few of the large Raptores were seen, but as none were taken they are not listed. 
Three species only, R . riparia , L. solitarius and /. mississippiensis, can be clast 
as true migrants, and of these the latter is a straggler from the south. Any of the 
others might have been breeding birds in the immediate vicinity. In fact as stated 
before there was during the period no appreciable migrational movement. 
In the 1908 list the following common summer residents were taken, which 
were not found the previous year but which might be expected to occur regularly 
in comparative abundance: C. alcyon , B. v. virescens, M. c. crinitus , E. virescens , 
S. p. pusilla , V. b. bellii, and T. a. parkmani . T. tyrannus was merely a 
belated migrant and A. colubris is at best of uncertain occurrence in this locality. 
The main part of the other birds, not taken the previous year, were the smaller 
migrants, which should occur regularly at this season and consisted in great part of 
the warblers. Conditions were particularly favorable for the migration of these 
birds, and on several occasions considerable flights of them were found. The other 
birds were more or less numerous, and more active also, and were easier to find, and 
on several cool mornings the birds were almost as noisy as they are in October. 
This list is offered merely to give some idea of the avifauna of this part of 
Kansas in the early fall, and as much credit for it is due to the efforts of Mr. 
Bunker as to myself. There are many other species which can be added in 
succeeding years, but for the two periods in question, I believe it to be fairly com- 
plete. Collecting at this time of the year is rather disagreeable work anywhere, 
but we found it especially so. The heat made struggling thru the dense thickets, 
with the luxuriant growth of vegetation found there, exceedingly hard work, and 
when we workt the timber, the cobwebs caught on our faces and hands in the most 
exasperating manner. 
Specimens were taken of all the species listed. 
1 . Butorides virescens virescens. Green Heron. A few of these birds were seen
