BLUE- WINGED YELLOW WARBLER. 



The Blue-Winged Yellow Warbler is found in Eastern United 

 States and Mexico. Wilson says that it comes from the South 

 early in May. 



Concerning the nest and eggs of this species, the following is 

 from a communication to T. M. Brewer, from Mr. N. A. Eddy of 

 Bangor, Maine. The data are supplied by Mr. Eddy himself; it is 

 concerning a nest which he found in June. 



"The Nest was found June 14, and at that time contained one 

 egg. It was revisited June 20, when it contained four eggs, which 

 were taken with the nest and the female parent was shot. The nest 

 was situated in an old orchard, about half a mile from the Coast of 

 Long Island Sound. It was placed on the ground, in the grass, 

 at the foot of a small bush. The nest is of a very loose structure, and 

 is composed of oak leaves, built so as to form an inverted cone ; 

 within is a coarse lining of grape-vine bai'k, and this is again lined 

 with fine grass and very fine pieces of grape-vine. The eggs are white, 

 with small red spots forming a ring around the greater end. A few 

 spots are also scattered over the whole surface. Before they were 

 blown the eggs were of a flesh-colored tint. Their measurements are 

 as follows :" .65 by .50, .67 by .49, .63 by .48, .60 by 47." — T. M.
