JUNE 



The Warbler Month. 



We are giving you this month an OOLOGIST almost exclusively dedicated 

 to the Warbler family. These tiny bits of bird life are among the most remark- 

 able of our birds. Interesting at all times to all bird students, attractive at all 

 times to everybody, because of their manifold activities, beautiful plumage and 

 vv^onderful range of habits and habitat. Covering the continent as they do from 

 the southernmost part of Florida to the northernmost lands of Alaska, their mis- 

 sion seems to be to pass through the more temperate zone just at the time the 

 forests are budding into bloom and breaking into foliage; they search the 

 innermost recesses of the new growth for the minute insect life which would 

 be destructive beyond measure. 



We hope the present issue of THE OOLOGIST will be satisfactory to our 

 readers, even though a few of the illustrations you will find therein have been 

 published before. — The Editor.
