After the passage of the migration
I looked for this Vireo in vain.
It is true that I did not have
as much time or as favorable
weather as I wished after our
return from Pine Point (June 8) but
yet I spent one calm, clear morning
searching the second-growth brush & foliage
thickets near Lakeside & hearing at
least a dozen Red-eyes but no Philadelphicus.
Unfortunately June 14, when I drove through
Dr. ville White, was so cloudy & windy
that almost no birds were singing.
I was also unfortunate this season in
failing to see a V. philadelphicus bird.
Those miscalled with the 's' were all identified.
By this tour only, several of them had occasional
wild clear notes like those of V. olivaceus. I do
not feel sure of any of these autumn singers.
