The Bird and its Haunts. — As a spring migrant I find this Warb- 

 ler in much the same situations Wilson's Warbler frequents ; but while 

 travelHng southward in August and September, when the foliage is so 

 much denser than that of May, it is less restricted in its choice of 

 haunts and may be found in the tree-tops. 



At Branchport, N. Y., Verdi Burtch (MS.) reports the Canadian 

 Warbler to breed not uncommonly in two entirely different locations. 

 While not common they are frequently found in the wettest part of 

 Potter Swamp associated with the Northern Water-Thrush and 

 Northern Yellow-throat. They are also found along the gully banks 

 usually in the lower branches or on the ground.
