Vireo philadelphicus. copy① Lake Umbagog, Maine. Very rare bird. 1896. I started out alone at 7.30 A.M. (at Lakeside). I wished June 10. to see if I could find a Philadelphia Vireo for I have not seen one at the head of the Lake since May 24th or, in other words, since before the migration came to an end! Nor was I more successful here this morning for although I hunted up every Vireo that I could hear singing in the poplar and birch second growth along the roadside and about the edges of the Brown clearing as far as the State line I found nothing but Red-eyes. Evidently the Philadelphia is not a common bird here now if, indeed, it is present at all. 102
