 abundant migrant. 



151. Dendroica viyordi Xad. Pine-creeping Warbler. Only two specimens 

 taken in the county. 



152. Dendroica kirtlandi Baird. Kirtland's Warbler. The only specimen 

 known in the State was taken May 4, 1892. This is the twenty-second specimen 

 reported from North America. Little is known of its life history. I took it in a 

 thicket. It was alone, there being no other birds in the near vicinity of it. It 

 seemed to be an active tiy catcher, not having the motions of the other Dendroica , 

 being less active. It would dart off after an insect and then return to the same 

 perch. Another specimen was taken May 7, 1895. Early in the morning I 

 heard a bird singing in the thicket of plum trees near the house. The song was 

 strange to me, and consisted of a loud ringing note repeated three times in quick 

 .■succession, suggesting that of the W^rens or Maryland Yellow Throat. I did ni)t 

 go to look for it at once, but as it continued singing for some time I finally got 

 my gun and went to look for it. It had down over into the oi'chard then, but 

 soon returned to the plum thicket and was constantly uttering that 2>eculiar 

 note. I finally caught sight of it and watched it for some time, not thinking of 

 its being the rare kirtandi. It moved with the grace and ease of a vireo or 

 fly-catcher. Wallace. [Proc. Ind. Academy of Science. 1893, pp. 119, 120].
