Philadelphia Vireo
Adult--Upper parts olive green, more grayish on the crown; a whitish line over the eye; under parts pale lemon yellow, somewhat tinged with green. Length--4.75.
Breeding Range--Northern New England northward. "It has been found in the breeding season at Franconia and Dixville Notch, in New Hampshire, and in the region about Lake Umbagog; in western Maine, it is not uncommon during the entire summer." (Brewster.)
The nest and eggs resemble those of the red-eyed vireo, probably the first authentic set of eggs having been found by Mr. Ernest E. Thompson in Manitoba.
