Palm Warbler. — The western Palm Warbler is occurring 

 quite re.gularly in Central Park during the fall migration. 

 On September 22 a flock of three, were seen. This past year 

 one was seen on September 10. All these birds were typical 

 specimens and were spotted at a glance,. 



Central Park is the best place for miles around in which 

 to study the Warbler migrations. As only two species, the 

 Yellow and the Redstart, nest, any other showing up in the 

 fall can safely be called migrants. The first individuals ap- 

 pear soon after the first of August. The Black and White 

 and Bhie-winged share the honor of being the first species. 

 The latter is often common in August, but is very rare in 

 spring. Both nest in near surrounding country. As Myrtle 

 Warblers never winter in the Park, the first to ajjpear in the 

 spring are of course migrants. The above illustrations shcvv 

 the position of Central Park in regards tO' Warbler migrations.
