Taverner and Swales — On Pt)iNT Pelee IJirds. 87 



158. Hclmiitthopliila chrysoptcra. — Golden-winged Warbler. 



This is another species conuuon all summer in the Detroit vicinity, 

 but rather rare on the Point. Fortunately, though no specimens 

 have been taken, they have been seen vuider circumstances that make 

 identification certain. May 21, 190G, one was noted. August 31, 

 1007, another was seen by Taverner near camp, and September 2 the 

 same observer noted one along the east shore in the vicinity of the 

 Cross Road. 



159. *Hclmmt1iopliila ruhrica'pilla. — Nashville Warbler. 



Likely a more or less common and a regular migrant, though our 

 records tor the species are few and more or less scattered. One 

 May 13, 1905, and three Septendier of the same year. The next 

 fall five, one, eight, six and one were enumerated September 1, 18, 

 19, 20 and 21, but none on the spring trip of May 20-21. One was 

 noted May 31, 1907, among the late warblers of that abnormal 

 spring, but up to tlie time of our departure in the fall, September 6, 

 they had not put in an appearance. The spring of 1008, Swales 

 noted one each day. May 2 and 3. 



IGO. *Hel)iiiiitJi(ip]iiIa perci/riiia. — Tennessee Warbler. 



A regular and not unconunon migrant, spring and fall. Ten noted 

 May 11, 1905, May 20-21, 190(;, which is normally late for them, none 

 were seen, but May 31 and June 1, 1007, when so many late warb- 

 ler records were u'ade, two rather questionable birds were noted. 

 None were listed May 1-4, 1!)08. 



In the fall it is one of the earliest warlilers to arrive. On August 

 2(;, 1007, one was taken ; an arrival date that seems about normal, 

 ns we can closely parallel it with Detroit dates. We saw but one; 

 other this season, on the 20th. The preceding year they were still 

 present in some nnuiliers the first tliree days of September, and in 

 full song. One was noted Sei)teinl)er 4, 1005, and another the 14th. 

 The species I'cuiains quite late and we have a record of an indi- 

 vidual, October 14, lOOG. 



161. fVompaotJilj/pis amcricana usiiecc. — Northern Parula Warbler. 



Conversely to the cases of the Golden-winged Warbler and the 

 Yellow-throated Vireo, cited before, this sitecies seems to be a 

 rather common migrant on the I'oint, at least in spring, while it is 

 very rare at Detroit at all seasons. May 14, 1005, which is our only 

 spring date strictly within its regular migrational season, we found 

 it very common the whole length of the western wooded shore. None 

 were observed May 20-21, 1000, but in the abnormally late spring of 

 1007 we saw one May 30, and three .June 1. The fall of the same 

 year one was taken August 28, giving us our only fall date.
