Vireo philadelphicus. Maine (Lake Umbagog). Vireo philadelphicus. Coloy ④ 1880. Maine (Lake Umbagog). (June 16) One sings regularly in a narrow strip of paper birches bordering the lake shore; I got within six feet of him to-day as he was among some low willows. My for- mer descriptions of the song are accurate. I heard a new note to-day, a low whining, like that of Vireo gilvus. 17. Two males singing to-day, one in Ellinwood's clear- ing, the other near the Sargent cove. The former I saw; he was singing in a small paper birch, and I stood for sometime within ten feet of him. I again heard the whining note and carefully criticized the song which I can now tell with absolute certainty from that of Vireo olivaceous; it is slower, with less volume, and has a peculiar double syllabled note which is always repeated twice. 18. Have heard one singing daily in the same place for the last two weeks in a belt of young Birshes and poplars bordering the lake shore. Searched every tree to-day for the nest but could not find it. 1881. May 19. Shot a male in a small poplar near the Middle Dam. It was in a flock of Warblers and was silent. 20. A number singing along the Carry road between Rich- ardson Lake and Umbagog. The open second-growth of poplar and birch over the burnt lands along this tract is peculiarly well-suited to the habits of this species which is evidently much more numerous here than about Upton. I saw a numbers of old Vireo's nests low down, some of which doubtless belonged to this species.
