BIRDS OBSERVED IN LITCHFIELD COUNTY 



182. Pine Warbler. Dendroica vlgorsii. A rare migrant. Mr. 



Woodruff has noted it in Litcliiield, but I have never met 

 it in Kent, where there are hardly any pines. 



183. Yellow Palm Warbler. Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea. 



A fairly common migrant, next in hardiness to the Myrtle 

 Warbler. It usually arrives in April, and I have seen it 

 as early as March 29. 



184. Oven-bird. Seiurus aurocapillus. An abundant summer 



resident. 



185. Water Thrush. Seiurus noveboracensis. A common mi- 



grant. 



186. Louisiana Water Thrush. Seiurus motacilla. A rather 



scarce summer resident, apt to be found along wooded 

 mountain brooks with steep banks. 



187. Connecticut W'arbler. Geothlypsis agilis. A regular but 



not common migrant in fall; rarely, if ever, found in 

 spring migration. 



188. Mourning Warbler. Geothlypsis philadelphia. A rare 



migrant. I have seen it surely once, and I think twice, 

 in Kent, in May. Mr. Woodruff has one record of its 

 occurrence in fall in Litchfield — Sept. 24, 1891. 



189. Northern Yellow-throat. Geothlypsis trichas brachidactyla. 



A common summer resident. 



190. Yellow-breasted Chat. Icteria virens. A summer resi- 



dent, fairly common in low altitude, as along the 

 Housatonic River, but rather rare on the higher parts 

 of the County. Mr. Williams has found two nests m 

 Winchester. 



191. Hooded Warbler. Wilsonia mitrata. A very rare summer 



resident. It is found along the Sound, but the only 

 County record of which I have learned is given by Mr. 

 Williams, who found a nest eight or nine years ago in 

 Winchester, containing four heavily incubated eggs, 

 built in a small sprout, a foot and a half from the ground. 

 I think he has the eggs and full data. 



192. Wilson's Warbler. Wilsonia pusilla. Occurs sparingly as 



a migrant.
