The Wuerdemann Heron is an immature female, taken on Oct 16th, 
last, and is, I judge, a bird of the year, or about the same age and 
state of plumage, as the Key est specimen you got in the Scott lot of 
skins. It is a very light specimen and will interest you. 
The abnormal Prairie Wufrbler was taken on Aug 12th, last, and is 
a female in the usual immature fall plumage of discolor, except that 
the top of the head and nape is yellow, interspersed throughout with 
the olive color of the back. It is a very odd specimen, and is the 
second abnormally plunaged Prairie Warbler which I have taken. I took 
the other one at Punta Rassa. It had the sides of head abnormally 
yello.v. You will, no doubt, remember Scott 7 s description of it in 
the Auk, about the latter part of 1886. 
All the above skins are fine, and , excepting one or two of the 
warblers, are of this year’s take, 
four’s very truly, 
P.S.-The 2 Screech Owls are from Chatham Bend, 1895
