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.
