BIRDS OF CUBA 117 



231. Dendroica cerulea (Wilson). 

 Cerulean Warbler. 



Gundlach once killed a single Cerulean Warbler in April at Camarioca. 



232. Dendroica virens virens (Gmelin). 

 Black-throated Green Warbler. 



A rare species which I never have seen. Gundlach collected Black- 

 throated Green Warblers several times, one on the Isle of Pines, in 1855, 

 at later dates two on the Pan de Matanzas and three in the pine lands of 

 Pinar del Rio. 



233. Dendroica coronata (Linne). 

 Myrtle Warbler. 



Myrtle Warblers are the last of the migrant Warblers to arrive, coming 

 in late November. They return North at the end of March. 



234. Dendroica pityophila pityophila (Gundlach). 

 Cuban Pine Warbler. 



The Cuban Pine Warbler is found to be common, once its haunts are 

 located. It is not found in all the growths of pine. It occurs about San 

 Diego de los Banos, where pines are few, and much more commonly about 

 the pine-clad hills near the mines of Matahambre and Asiento Viejo, all 

 in western Cuba. Contrary to the experience of Gundlach, Ramsden has 

 found it in eastern Cuba in the pinares of Mayari on the north coast of the 

 Province. It does not leave the trees from which it takes its name, and 

 flitting constantly about, it frequents the highest branches.
