CONNECTICUT WARBLER 173 



91. Connecticut Warbler 



Oporornis agilis 



A Connecticut Warbler visited the Garden 

 on October 17, 1908. It was first seen in a 

 bed of roses near Arlington Street and the 

 centre path. From this it presently passed 

 to a Pyrus Japonica bush and then into a 

 near beech, giving occasionally a strong, 

 sharp call-note. The next morning the 

 visitant was seen on the opposite side of 

 the Garden in a bed of hardy azaleas, from 

 which it moved into other beds and then 

 into a beech standing near. Its call-note, 

 distinctive from that of the black-polls 

 which were present, served to locate the 

 bird when the observer was at some dis- 

 tance. The two following mornings it oc- 

 cupied the same section as upon the second 

 day, being seen in a sycamore maple which 

 was much frequented by the black-polls. 

 The visit of this Connecticut Warbler, 

 therefore, covered four days.
