PARULA WARBLER. | 
“Common during spring and autumn migrations. A 
few remain all the summer and breed perhaps, though I 
have no other evidence of this than that the Parula 
warbler is a summer resident of Hale County.” (1891b). 
A couple of years after the publication of the fore- 
going the Doctor secured all the evidence that he wanted, 
as testified by the following extended notes taken from 
his juurnal for 1893: 
“April 9th. Today while making observations on the 
nest of the yellow-throated warbler found on the 4th, a 
little bird was seen gathering material from a stump 
near the water-oak, the nesting site of D. dominica No. 
2 
“ihe field glass revealed a female parula warbler. 
She flew about seventy yards and perched for a moment 
in a black gum; a second flight took her to the top of a 
sweet gum; she descended immediately to a pendent 
bunch of Tillandsia, disappeared in the moss, made two 
or three flights from the tree, always returning to the 
same place on the tree and entering the same bunch of 
moss. There could be no doubt as to what she was doing, 
and I had my first ocular demonstration of the fact that 
the parula warbler breeds in Hale County, Alabama, 
though its occurrence here in mid-summer had seemed 
to me sufficient evidence that it nests in this county.
