=Cedar Waxwing=: _Bombycilla cedrorum_ Vieillot.--This waxwing is a rare, local, and highly irregular summer resident in northeastern Kansas, in woodland and forest edge habitats. The known nesting stations are in Wyandotte and Shawnee counties; six nests have been found in the period 1949 to 1960. The species has been recorded in all months. _Breeding schedule._--Eggs are laid in June and early July. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is about 4 eggs (Davie, 1898). Nests are placed four to 24 feet high in a variety of deciduous and coniferous trees and shrubs. =Loggerhead Shrike=: _Lanius ludovicianus_ Linnaeus.--This common resident and summer resident favors open country with scattered shrubs and thickets. _L. l. migrans_ Palmer occurs in eastern Kansas, west to about the 96th meridian, and _L. l. excubitorides_ Grinnell occurs in western Kansas, east to about the 100th meridian; populations of intermediate character occupy central Kansas. These shrikes tend to be resident in southern counties, but are migratory in the north. Dates of spring arrival in Cloud County are between March 9 and 31 (the median is March 21) and the birds leave southward between October 19 and December 19 (the median is November 1). _Breeding schedule._--Fifty-seven records of breeding span the period April 1 to June 30 (Fig. 7); the modal date for egg-laying is April 15. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is 5 eggs (5.3, 4-7; 32). There is no seasonal variation in the sample. Nests are placed about six feet high (ranging from four to 10 feet) in osage orange, small pines, honeysuckle vines, and elm. =Starling=: _Sturnus vulgaris_ Linnaeus.--This species is a common resident in towns and around farms, foraging in open fields of various kinds. Starlings (introduced into North America from European stocks of _S. v. vulgaris_) first appeared in eastern Kansas in the early 1930s and were established as successful residents by 1935 or 1936. Occupancy of Kansas to the west took only a few years. There are no specimens taken in the breeding season or actual nesting records from southwest of Ellis and Stafford counties; Starlings seem to be resident in Cheyenne County, but no nesting record exists from there. _Breeding schedule._--Sixty-seven records of breeding span the period March 1 to June 30 (Fig. 7); the modal date for first clutches is April 15, and for second clutches is June 5. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is 5 eggs (5.2, 4-8; 19). Nests are placed about 22 feet high (ranging from eight to 50 feet) in crevices in elm, locust, hackberry, nestboxes placed by man, and in a variety of other structures of man. =Black-capped Vireo=: _Vireo atricapilla_ Woodhouse.--This was a summer resident, apparently of limited distribution but in good numbers, in Comanche County, in oak woodland and brushland edge. No specimens have been taken in Kansas since 1885.
