14 BIRDS OF NELSON COUNTY. 



same perch. On several occasions, although knowing that 

 the birds were generally only twenty or thirty feet from 

 me, I have haa a great difficulty in finding them, so well 

 do they conceal themselves in the foliage. 



26. Helmintbopbilacbrysopterai'Lm'N.). Golden- winged War- 



bler. 

 Rare ; one specimen only. On May 11th, 1877, while 

 sauntering through my favorite collecting ground, I saw- 

 four or live warblers skipping about the top of a small 

 willow tree ; getting two of them in line, I fired, and down 

 came this bird and a Cape May Warbler — two species 

 entirely new to me, and both very rare in this locality. 

 Only those who are ' ' in the secret ' ' can appreciate my 

 feelings upon that occasion.
