Fall Migration. — 



The Bird and its Haunts. — During the winter I have found the 

 Orange-crowned Warbler a not uncommon inhabitant of the live-oaks 

 in middle Florida where its sharp chip soon becomes recognizable. 

 In Mississippi, at this season, Allison (MS.) says that "its favorite 

 haunts are usually wooded yards or parks, where the evergreen live 

 oak and magnolia can be found; but I have seen it most commonly 

 among the small trees on the border of rich mixed woods, above an 

 undergrowth of switch cane. Coniferous trees it seems not to care for, 

 though I have seen it in the cypress swamps." 



The bird's migration route in the spring appears to pass through 

 the Mississippi valley and it is rare or unknown at this time of the 

 year in the north Atlantic States. During the fall, however, it is not 

 infrequently found there, Brewster's' records of nine individuals seen 

 in his garden in Cambridge, in November, showing that it is both 

 more common and later than was previously supposed.
