MYRTLE WARBLER. YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER. 
MYRTLEBIRD. 
Dendroica coronata. 
Above slaty-blue streaked with black; below white, except the 
upper-breast and sides of body which are black ; crown, rump and a spot 
on each side of the breast yellow; sides of head black, with a light streak 
over the eye; wings brown, with two light bands; tail brown, slightly 
notched, and somewhat spotted with white ; bill and feet dark. Length, 
5.05 inches. 
Migratory. Passes to the north in April and May, and again southward, in September. 
At these times, for short periods, it is rather abundant. 
Different individuals are varied in their markings, but the four yellow spots on crown, 
rump and sides of breast are constant, and afford means of confident identification.
