DENDROICA PETECHIA AMNICOLA Batchelder 



NEWFOUNDLAND YELLOW WARBLER 

 HABITS 



Based on a series of 14 adult males and 3 adult females from New- 

 foundland, Charles F. Batchelder (1918) gave the above name to the 

 yellow warblers that breed in that region. After giving a detailed 

 description of the type from Curslet, Newfoundland, he remarks: 

 "When seen in series, the yellow of the under parts is duller, less richly 

 golden, and the chestnut streaks are darker. In comparison with 

 aestiva, the female is duskier, less yellowish, throughout the upper 

 parts. * * * 



"In general coloring D. ae. amnicola shows a certain similarity to 

 D. ae. ruhiginosa, but it is readily distinguishable from that race by 

 the yellow forehead which, as in D. ae. aestiva, contrasts strongly with 

 the green of the back."
