NASHVILLE WARBLER. 
645. Vermivora rubricapilla. 434 inches. 
Male with a brown crown patch; female duller colored 
and with no crown patch. Dry side hills covered with 
young trees are favorite resorts for the Warblers. They 
conceal their nests on the ground under tufts of dead 
grass or overhanging stones. They are often rather shy 
and hard to sight, but you can usually hear their song, 
a lazy sounding ‘“ker-chip-chip-chip-cherr-wee-e-e,”” ending 
in a short trill. These birds breed in the northern half 
of the U. S. and southern Canada, wintering in Central 
America. A sub-species is found on the Pacific coast. 
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER. 
646. Vermivora celata. 5 inches, 
This species is fairly common in the Mississippi Valley 
but is rare in New England. Its habits are much lke 
those of the last species and it is often mistaken for 
that bird. These birds breed only north of the U. S. 
and winter in Mexico. <A sub-species, the Lutescent 
Warblers, nests from California to Alaska.
