3. Nashville Warbler — Irregular 

 spring and fall migrant. Occasionally 

 met with singly or in pairs durmg a 

 flight. The only flock I ever met with 

 was in early May, 1901, when 1 saw 

 fully a dozen in some large thorn 

 bushes. This warbler has been found 

 breeding in the mountains in this state 

 but I have never met with it here in 

 summer. 



4. Orange-crowned Warbler — Ac- 

 cording to all accounts this warbler 

 is rare anywhere in Pennsylvania. 

 Have a pair of adults in my collection 

 that I took here. 



5. Tennessee Warbler — Regular but 

 rather rare spring migrant. Rare in 

 fall. 



6. Parula Warbler — Regular sum- 

 mer resident. Common migrant. At 

 times abundant. Usually nest high 

 here and hard to find. Have found 

 nests in hemlocks as well as hard- 

 woods. 



7. Cape May Warbler — Rare spring 

 migrant. Seldom see over two or 

 three during a season and some sea- 

 sons not any. Have no fall record. 



8. Yellow Warbler. Common sum- 

 mer resident. 



9. Black-throated Blue Warbler — 

 Summer resident throughout this vi- 

 cinity in all suitable situations. Some 

 of the most beautiful warblers nests 

 I have ever found were nests of the 

 Black-throated Blue. 



10. Myrtle Warbler — Common and 

 at times abundant migrant spring and 

 fall. The great bulk of the warbler 

 flights here is composed of Myrtles. 



11. Magnolia Warbler — Summer res- 

 ident and common migrant. Far the 

 most common of the northern breed- 

 ers found here. 



12. Cerulean Warbler — Straggler. 

 Have two records, one taken in May, 

 1890, and the other May, 1891. 



13. Chestnut-sided Warbler — Regu- 

 lar summer resident in slashings, bar- 

 rens and brushy areas generally. 



14. Bay-breasted Warbler — One of 

 the later migrants to appear. Some 

 seasons rather scarce but usually 

 about the middle of May there is quite 

 a flight when for a few days they are 

 quite common. 



15. Black-poll Warbler — Last of the 

 warblers to arrive. Some late seasons 

 not reaching us until May 20th, and 

 always staying later than any of the 

 others that all pass on north. Have 

 seen it as late as June 12th. Abund- 

 ant in the fall, arriving as early as 

 August 18th (1894) and have seen it 

 as late as October 12th (1902). 



16. Blackburnian Warbler — Summer 

 resident. One of the rarer of the 

 warblers that remain to breed. Nests 

 in hemlocks out on a horizontal limb 

 and must as a rule nest quite high 

 as they are hard to find although the 

 birds themselves can be heard sing- 

 ing usually well up among the bran- 

 ches. 



17. Black-throated Green Warbler — 

 Summer resident. Arrives early, 

 usually with the very first of the Myr- 

 tles and is a common migrant. Dur- 

 ing the summer they can be heard 

 singing but keep up so well they are 

 seldom seen. Nests high in hemlock 

 and birch. By watching the old birds 

 I have found nests over 60 feet from 

 the ground. Have found one though 

 as low as 10 feet up. 



18. Pine Warbler — Rare summer 

 resident and irregular migrant. Only 

 know of two places here where this 

 warbler breeds. There are two little 

 pine groves nearby each of which is 

 annually the home of a pair of these 

 warblers. These two pairs arrive the 

 last week in April, some seasons as 

 early as the 23d. Usually the very 

 first warbler I see or hear each spring 

 is one of these two pairs of Pines. 

 Nest high. One set that I took was 70 

 feet up, 



19. Palm Warbler — Irregular and
