THE CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER NESTING AT 

 JEFFERSON, ASHTABULA CO., 0. 



Robert J. Sim. 



On June 26 (1907) Miss Maiy I. Hoskins discovered the nest 

 of a pair of Chestnut-sided Warblers in a bit of woodland not 

 more than a mile north-east of town. The locality is an ideal 

 one for warblers. There are perhaps fifteen or twenty acres in the 

 wooded tract. Tall second-growth timber predominates, but 

 here and there are towering parent trees of White Oak, Tulip, 

 Cucumber, Beech, Hickory and Maple. The west side is mostly 

 clear of under-brush, but in some parts of the piece are rank 

 growths well sorted into colonies of Beech, Maple and Oak 

 sprouts. In about the center a small clearing has been made 

 and here the Blackberry, Spice-bush and Red-berried Elder run 

 riot. 



In this place a female Chestnut-side was noticed passing thru 

 the brush. A short search resulted in the discovery of the nest 

 placed two feet above the ground among some leafy blackberry 

 stems near the foot of a large beech. The naked cowbirdling in 

 the nest was as large as the two young warblers together, and 

 these were all but smothered by him. He was removed. The 

 mother-warbler remained within a few feet of her home, chirping 

 anxiously and fluttering about with spread wings and tail.
