Tachycineta bicolor. Tkeg Swallow.—O nly one nest observed. This was in 
the deserted nest of a Woodpecker in a sycamore stump. 
Clivicola riparia. Bank Swallow.— Common along streams, placing the nest 
in holes in the sandy banks. Excavations vacated by the Kingfisher are readily 
appropriated by this swallow, for a nesting site. Five to seven eggs are laid. May 
15th. to June loth, is the date for full complements of eggs. 
Stelgidopteryx serripennis. Rough-winged Swallow. Rare. A lew found 
associating with the last named species. Only one nest has come under my obser¬ 
vation. This was placed in a crevice in a bridge wall, and contained five fresh eggs. 
Ampelis cedrorum. Cedar Waxwing.— Found nesting commonly in orchards. 
and in the sycamores along the streams in June. Four and five eggs compose a 
complement 
NOTE._ Loggehiieao Shrike. Lanius ludovicicmus (/). In 1884, I found a 
nest of the Shrike containing two eggs. Unfortunately, the nest was removed be¬ 
fore I had an opportunity to obtain the parent bird, so I am at a loss to know to 
which these eggs belonged,—the species, Lunius ludovtcictnus , or the race, A. 1 . 
excubito rides, White-rumped Shrike. 
Vireo olivaceus. Red-eyed Vireo. Common in the upland woods, suspending 
the nest from forked twig of branch oi bu.-h, sapling or tree, usually below 10 feet. 
The set consists ot three or four eggs and in this locality are found from May 
15th. to June loth. 
Vireo gilvus. Warbling Vireo.— Common along streams, nesting in the ma¬ 
ples, elms and tall sycamores. Nests are also met with in orchard trees. 
Four eggs is the number usually found in a nest, although three is by no means 
rare. Nidification begins about May 22nd. 
Vireo flavifrons. Yellow-throated Vireo.—T his Greenlet is an uncommon 
summer resident, i have met with the nest but twice and these were deserted. 
Vireo noveboracensis. White-eyed ViftEO.— A few are found about moist 
places in under-growth woods, where they breed. 
A nest found on May 28th., 1889, was within ten inches of the ground and con¬ 
tained four slightly incubated eggs. 
Mniotilta varia. Black and White Warbler.— Rare. On two occasions I 
have observed parents feeding young. 
Eelmitherus virmivorns. Worm-eating Warbler.—A few are met with 
in the moist woods where there is but little under-growth. 
A nest observed some years ago contained three young birds and one egg on 
the point of hatching. 
On May 13th., 1893, I found a nest in which the old birds were just placing the 
lining. From this nest, eleven days later, I took a beautiful set of four eggs. The 
nest was sunken in the ground at base of small sprout on the side of a raTine. An¬ 
other nest taken on July 2nd., contained three addled eggs which were cold. The 
nest was wet from recent rains and evidently had been deserted for some days. 
Notwithstanding this fact the male was greatly distressed by my presence. He 
came quite close and fluttered along on the ground. Female must have been kill¬ 
ed, as a careful search of the vicinity revealed nothing indicative of a new nest or 
of young birds. 
Helminthophila crysopfera. Golden-winged Warbleb.— Met with on the 
outskirts of thickets and bushy woods, where they nest sparingly. The nest is 
placed on the ground in the midst of a small clump of briers or weeds. The eggs 
number from three to four and are deposited during the latter part of May or the 
fore part of J line.
