YELLOW RED-POLL,. 
breast and region below the eye slightly black-striped, 
the stripes sometimes extending to the sides, Female 
similarly marked but much duller in color; the tone of 
the back browner. Nest in pines, cedars, or other ever- 
green-trees; it is usually situated more than twenty-five 
feet above the ground, and is built of bark, leaves, plant 
fibres, etc. Egg white with red-brown and umber mark- 
ings mostly at the larger end. This bird is distributed 
throughout eastern North America; it is a resident of 
the great pine forests of the southern States; it winters 
from Illinois and the Carolinas southward. 
The song of the Pine Warbler is a simple so-called

Vivace ay 
Asimple, short, rather musical one, but according to my 
observations without the shadow of a variation. Iam 
not sure, though, that this bird does not vary his song; 
the Chippy does, and why should not he? My notations 
are extremely meagre, as well as similar, so I can not 
promise that there are not variations of the type.

poll. Yellow man is a renegade Dendroica who is in- 
Palm Warbler .. . 
Be tenaen pal different to the wood and has no particular 
marum hypo- liking for even the trees in the open. The 
chrysea last time I saw him he was wagging his 
ea cog ean tail in a tree by the roadside in the Mid- 
‘ dlesex Fells, just north of Boston, entirely 
disdainful of my chirpings put forth in a vain effort to 
induce him to ‘‘tune up.” In colors, he is a bit attrac- 
tive though not startling. Crown chestnut; back olive 
green with a brownish tone, greener on the rump; no 
wing-bars; the inner vanes of the outer tail feathers
