CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 653 



tree, hiding behind a branch, but, curiously enough, still singing. 

 I approached under cover and on taking the bird found I had been 

 fortunate enough to secure a specimen of D. kirtlandii in good 

 plumage. On stepping the distance from the tree where I was 

 standing to the tree on which the bird was singing when I first 

 heard him, I found it to be no yards, which goes to show the power 

 of his voice." (/. Hughes -Samuel.) 



671. Pine Warbler. 



Dendroica vigorsii vigorsii (AuD.) Ridgw. 1885. 



Several seen on June 20th, and September 27th, 1902, on Sable 

 island, N.S. ; one taken, June 8th, 1904; one. May 28th, 1905, and 

 several,, September 30th in a northwest gale; one seen June 17th and 

 several, September 29th, 1906; one seen, May i6th, 1907. (/. 

 Boutelier.) Said to occur in New Brunswick by Dr. Adams. 

 {Chamberlain.) A specimen was picked up on Haymarket square 

 by master Ralph Finlay and communicated to me by Mrs. M. V. 

 Laurence. {A. G. Leavitt.) Specimens have been taken in Quebec 

 prior to 1889. (Dionne.) A scarce transient visitant at Montreal. I 

 have shot specimens of this warbler on the spur of Mount Royal 

 from September 12th to 26th. (Wintle.) 



A rare spring migrant at Ottawa. (Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.) 

 One taken by Mr. Taverner on April 30th, 1898, is the only record 

 I have for either the Parry Sound or Muskoka district. (/. H. 

 Fleming.) I found these birds quite abundant among the pines 

 west of Toronto in 1894, the first arrivals were noted on the 21st 

 April; on the 8th May, 1895, I took one specimen and on 20th 

 April, 1896, met another single bird; since these dates I have not 

 met with the species, either on account of none having visited 

 this district or more likely because the haunts in question have been 

 denuded of the trees. (/. Hughes-Samuel.) A rather common 

 species at Hamilton, Ont., where it raises its young every season. 

 (McHwraith.) Rather rare both as a migrant and summer resident, 

 though it may be found each year in a few pine woods around 

 London, Ont. (W. E. Saunders.) A tolerably common summer 

 resident to the north and east of ^lanitoba. {E. T. Seton.) A 

 tolerably common summer resident at Aweme, Manitoba; it arrives 

 about May 15th and leaves about September 2nd. (Criddle.)
