BIRDS OBSERVED IN LITCHFIELD COUNTY 



colony in Winchester. I have seen a few in Kent in the 

 nesting season. 



172. Cape May Warbler. Dendroica tigrina. A rare migrant. 



I have taken one in Kent in May, and Mr. Woodruff 

 another in Litchfield, May 8, 1905. 



173. Yellow Warbler. Dendroica sestiva. A common summer 



resident. 



174. Black-throated Blue Warbler. Dendroica cserulescens. A 



common migrant, and locally common as a summer 

 resident, breeding in the woods of the higher slopes, 

 especially where there is mountain laurel undergrowth. 

 The nests are built in low clumps of laurel, near the 

 ground. 



175. Myrtle Warbler. Dendroica coronata. Common as a mi- 



grant, and occasionally seen in winter in flocks. 



176. Magnolia Warbler. Dendroica maculosa. A fairly com- 



mon migrant. Mr. Woodruff found a male in full song 

 in Litclifield, June 8, 1891, in a dense grove of hemlock, 

 where it very probably was breeding. 



177. Chestnut-sided Warbler, Dendroica pennsylvanica. A 



common summer resident. 



178. Bay-breasted Warbler. Dendroica castanea. An irregular 



and not common migrant, though occasionally in spring 

 it appears in considerable numbers, while again it may 

 not appear at all. 



179. Blackpoll Warbler. Dendroica striata. A common mi- 



grant, the latest of the migrants in spring. 



180. Blackburnian Warbler. Dendroica blackbumise. A not 



very common migrant, though sometimes it appears in 

 May in fair numbers. It also occurs as a rare summer 

 resident. Doctor Bishop took specimens in Salisbury, 

 two males, June 19 and 20, 1904, and Mr. Woodruff saw 

 and took specimens in Litclifield throughout the latter 

 half of June, 1905. Dr. George Wolsey took one in Corn- 

 wall on June 25, 1879. 



181. Black-throated Green Warbler. Dendroica virens. Com- 



mon both as migrant and as summer resident.
