16 BIRDS OF KELSON COUNTY. 



39. DendrcBca. striata (Forst.). Black-poll Warbler. 



Transient. Rather uncommon ; arrives May 7tli to lOth •, 

 departs about October 10th. 



40. Dendrceca blackburnise(GM.EL.). Blackburniaen Warbler. 



Transient. Very common in September ; but all of them 

 are very plainly colored then as compared with the iiery 

 hues of the vernal costume. Generally an early arrival. 

 In 1882 I took one on April 3rd. They leave towards the 

 last of September, but I have taken stragglers as late as 

 October 13th. 



41. *Dendrosca dominica albilora Baird. Sycamore Warbler. 



A common summer resident ; arriving very early in Ai^ril. 

 Almost always found along streams in the sycamore trees 

 {Plantanus occidentalis), amongst the branches of which 

 they creep in their search for insects with more of the 

 habits of a CertJiia than those of a warbler ; occasionally 

 uttering their rather musical song, whicli is singularly 

 like that of the Indigo Bird. Their nest I have never 

 been able to find, although they undoubtedly breed here. 



42. \DendTCEca viiens (Gmel.). Black-throated Green Warb- 



ler. 



Transient. Very common. Arrives about April 18th ; 

 departs October 10th to 15th. I saw and identified one 

 on July 14th, 1882, but, of course, didn't have a gun 

 along, and the bird was not captured. All the specimens 

 I have ever taken show great variation in the amount and 

 intensity of the black on the breast. 



43. Dendrosca pinus (Wilson). Pine-creeping Warbler. 



Transient. Common in April and September. It is quite 

 likely that this bird breeds here.
