 The nest much resembles the nest of the redstart except for location. 

 I have also noticed this bird near Sharbot Lake, Ont., where it breeds 

 in the underbrush of a large wood of maple and beech. Near Madoc 

 I have noticed it among the latest warblers to depart south. (Rev. 

 C. J. Young.) Regular migrant at Toronto, Ont. An abundant 

 summer resident in the Parry Sound and Muskoka districts of 

 Ontario. I took a nest on June 8th, 1894; it was on the side of a 

 hill in a dense hardwood bush, and was placed on the fallen branch 

 of a dead hemlock, shaded by the horizontal branch of a seedling 

 maple. (/. H. Fleming.) Common amongst balsam fir in Algonquin 

 park, Ont., June, 1900. (Spreadborough.) Reaching us in the first 

 week in May at Toronto this bird becomes very abundant. The
