GOLDEN-CHEEKED WARBLER. 
666. Dendroica chrysoparia. 4°, inches. 
In some plumages these birds may be confused with 
the Black-throated Green. Notice that the adult male 
has a short median line of yellow on the crown, other- 
wise the top of head and entire back are intense black. 
Young birds, which bear the closest resemblance to the 
next species, can be distinguished because their under- 
parts are white, those of the Black-throated Green being 
tinged with yellow. 
These rare Warblers have a very restricted distribu- 
tion, but are said to be not uncommon within their range. 
Notes.—Song with the usual Warbler quality, but en- 
tirely distinctive: ‘*sweah-sweah-swee-e-e.” 
Nest.—Of strips of bark, usually located in juniper 
trees six to twenty feet above ground. Eggs white, 
splashed about the large end with reddish brown 
(.65 x .50). 
Range.—Central Texas southward into Mexico.
