YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER. 
663. Dendroica dominica. 5% inches. 
Throat, breast and line from eye to bill yellow. 
This species has habits very similar to those of the 
Black and White Creeper, being often seen creeping 
around the trunks or over the branches of trees with 
almost as much facility as the Nuthatches. They are 
southern birds and are only rarely or accidentally found 
in the northern half of the U.8., and they are one of the 
few members of the family that winter in the southern 
parts of our country. 
Song.—Loud and similar to that of the Indigo Bunt- 
ing, but shorter. 
Nest.—Usually high up in pines and often concealed 
in tufts of moss; made of fine twigs and strips of bark, 
held together with cobwebs and “Spanish moss; eggs 
greenish white, spotted with various shades of brown. 
Range.—Southeastern U. S., breeding north to Vir- 
ginia; winters in the West Indies. 663a. Sycamore 
Warbler (albilora) is like the Yellow-throated, but is 
white before the eye; found in the Mississippi Valley 
north to Illinois and Iowa; winters in Mexico
