parallel. (Coucs.) Not an uncommon summer resident in the 

 wooded parts of Manitoba, apparently breeding on Duck moun- 

 tain. One seen near the eastern end of Great Slave Lake July 20, 

 1907. (E. T. Seton.) Common during migration at Aweme, Man. ; 

 possibly breeds. {Criddle.) Noted in Manitoba only as a migrant 

 of which it is one of the most abundant. {Atkinson.) Abundant 

 in the streets of Winnipeg, May 27, 1903; near Red Deer, Alta., it 

 is the most abundant of all breeding warblers except the yellow. 

 \V. E. Saunders.) 



This is a common migrant at Indian Head, Sask., and very likely 

 breeds; first seen May 31st, and soon became comm-on in willow 

 thickets where it remained to June 15th, when all disappeared; 

 first seen at Medicine Hat, Sask., May i8th, 1894; others were 

 seen afterwards, but they were never numerous; a few seen on 

 Old Wives creek, Sask., late in May, 1895; a common breeding 

 species at Banff, Rocky mountains, in the summer of 1S91 ; common 

 in willow thickets from the mouth of Slave river to Peace River 

 Landing, lat. 56° 15' in June, 1903; first seen on May 22nd, 1897, 

 at Edmonton, Alta., tolerably common along the creeks by the 

 28th; no doubt they breed here; common from Edmonton to the 

 Athabaska pass in willow thickets in low grounds and along streams 

 in June, 1898; common in the foothills south of Calgary. (Spread- 

 borough.) On May 29th, 1905, I saw a bird within 10 feet of me 

 in the Maple creek, Sask., timber which I was quite sure was a 

 Tennessee warbler, but none w^ere collected. (.4. C. Bent.) Com- 

 mon at the Grand rapids of the Saskatchewan, where it doubtless 

 breeds. (Nutting.) One of the most abundant birds between 

 Athabaska Landing and Lesser Slave river ; first noted May 30th ; 

 common down the Athabaska river to Fort McMurray, lat. 56° 40' ; 

 common up the Clearwater river and at the north end of Methye 

 portage; common between Methye lake and Isle a la Crosse lake; 

 last seen August loth. (/. M. Macoun.) One specimen only was 

 procured at Cumberland House, on the banks of the Saskatchewan, 

 in the latter end of May. (Richardson.) North to Fort Simpson 

 on the Mackenzie river. (Ross.) I have a nest and four eggs of 

 this bird collected at Fort Saskatchewan near Edmonton, Alta., 

 on June 12th, 1899, by Mr. J. Callaghan; nest in a willow two feet 

 from the ground. (W . Rainc.) This was a common breeder at 

 150-Mile House, B.C., where its sharp insistent song was to be heard
