Notes on the Different Birds. 
149 
numbers. Is seen throughout summer in woods. In 1882 not 
noticed before May 9. Most on the 17th. In 1883 extremely 
numerous May 9 in the Great Wood south of the railway. In 
the Daily Beat not observed before the 15th. 
160. Seiurus noveboracensis (Gmel.). xx M. of 4. L. 
148-151. E. 244-264. W. 72-84. T. 54-57. King has not 
met with this bird in breeding season in Wisconsin. At Shi- 
octon it nests in considerable numbers along the rivers and 
lesser streams. In the breeding season the male often sings 
in the tops of tall trees. On June 23, 1882, two newly 
hatched young sat on a trunk in Wolf River. They fell into 
the water when they tried to fly. May 31, 1883, I found a nest 
near a ditch in the Pine Wood. It was built in a hollow in 
the north bank. The entrance was made small by the birds 
which had also protected the nest by a roof. In contained 5 
fresh eggs. L. 20-20J. B. 16f—17£. In 1882 a pair was seen 
April 26. Many the 28th. In 1883 the first April 30. The next 
day everywhere where there was running water. Afterwards 
fewer. 
161. GreotWypis trichas (Linn.). XX M. of $ (5) L. 119— 
133. E. 173-185. W. 55-59. T. 43-54. $ (2) L. 123. E. 
160-167. W. 50-52. T. 41-47. It cannot now be decided 
whether the Shiocton bird is G. trie has occidentalis Brewst. (a 
form that was then unknown to me). It is the commonest breed¬ 
ing warbler in swamps. But I found only two nests. June 8, 
1883, one with 4 eggs. The day after there were 5. The nest 
was built in grass an inch from the wet ground under a 
natural roof composed of a dried tuft of grass held up by a 
twig. June 14, a quite open nest in a mossy place in the Pine 
Wood. Contained 5 much incubated eggs. M. from these two 
nests. L. 17^-19. B. 13^—14. In 1882, not observed before 
May 10. But may well have been in the swamp before. In 
warbler-flocks near the river not very numerous before May 18, 
when the first females appeared. In autumn one of the most 
abundant warblers. Great flocks Sept. 21-27. The last Sept. 
30. In 1883 a large number were seen in East Swamp May 10. 
G . formosa (Wils.) which belongs to the Carolinian fauna has 
been found once at Racine (Hoy). G. agilis (Wils.) which be-
