Cahn—Notes on the Vertebrate Fauna 
501 
Oven-bird. Seiurus aurocapillus (Linn.). 
Heard far more often than seen in the swampy areas about the 
lakes in Iron county. Several were seen sneaking along in the 
bushes at the shore of the Kenton river. 
Water-thrush. Seiurus no v eh or acensis noveboracensis (Gmelin). 
Found quite commonly along the Kenton river, especially 
where vegetation overhangs the water, and once on the shore of 
Lake 33. 
Maryland Yellow-throat. Geothlypis trichas trickas (Linn.). 
Several were both seen and heard along the Kenton river, and 
hardly a day passed but one or more was heard near Lake 33. 
Several were heard also along the shore of Lake 16. 
Canadian Warbler. Wilsonia canadensis (Linn.). 
None were seen, but Blackwelder reports the species for ‘ ‘ late 
in August, and therefore perhaps not a summer resident. ^ ’ 
American Redstart. Setophaga ruticilla (Linn.). 
Several were seen in the hardwoods near Kenton, but the 
species is to be considered as rather uncommon, though possibly 
a breeding species, as several immature birds were seen, and one 
taken. 
Catbird. Burnetella carolinensis (Linn.). 
Several individuals were seen about Kenton, and an old nest, 
undoubtedly of this species and from the preceding season was 
found in a thicket near the Kenton river. 
Brown Thrasher. Toxostoma rufum (Linn.). 
Seen on several occasions about Kenton, where it keeps to the 
thickets, especially along the river. Heard in full song but once, 
though often fragments of its song were heard. 
House Wren. Troglodytes aedon aedon (Vieillot.) 
Several were seen near Kenton and the nest of one pair was 
found in the corner of the abandoned planing-mill. 
Winter Wren. Nannus hiemalis hiemalis (Vieillot). 
Somewhat more common perhaps than the preceding species, 
but not very common at that. They frequent the thickets and
