CANADIAN WARBLER. 
686. Wilsonia canadensis. 5% inches. 
Male, with a necklace of black spots, white eye ring 
and lores; female, and young, with only a slight in- 
dication of the necklace, 
These Warblers travel northward in company with 
many other kinds, always keeping in the underbrush 
near the ground, except when they come out into 
orchards and parks. Like the two last, they are very 
lively, rarely remaining still for more than a few 
seconds, before they must dash after some tempting 
morsel that is flying by. 
Song.—A loud liquid warble, most nearly resembling 
that of the Water-Thrush; call, a sharp, querulous chip. 
Nest.—Of rootlets and strips of bark, under roots of 
trees or shrubs or at the foot of stumps in the moss; 
the four eggs are white with a wreath of chestnut 
spots around the large end (.68 x .50). 
Range.—Kastern N. A., breeding from Massachusetts 
and Michigan northward; winters in northern South 
America,
