In its spring migrations thig little bird presents a problem that has been ill solved by field investigators. When on its northward ourney it appears on -tihe southern coasts of this country iif the early spring and travels about twenty miles a day for six weeks intil it reaches the north ern part of Nebraska. ihen just about this time, and before they have beeni seen in any of the intervening coun try, red-eyed vireos are noted in Southern British Columbia, 1,000 miles to the northwest.
