l6o MEMOIRS OF THE NUTTALL ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB 



275 [642] Vermivora chrysoptera (Linn.). 

 Golden-winged Warbler. 



Not uncommon summer resident, locally. May 3 to September i (Octo- 

 ber 8). 



While the common song of this bird is a lazily given t:^ec, tzee, t^ee, tzcc, it 

 occasionally or rarely sings sit, sit, sit, sit, tdlll, the last a drawing-in of the breath 

 resembling the explosive trill of a Parula Warbler. 



On July 17, 1907, I shot a female Golden-winged Warbler at Heartbreak 

 Hill, Ipswich, with plumage so worn and faded that it suggested a Brewster's 

 Warbler with its white throat. Three yellow breast-feathers suggested Blue- 

 winged Warbler blood. ^ 



Mr. Ralph Lawson has told me that the late Mrs. William Perry, who was a 

 very careful observer, had several excellent opportunities to observe an example 

 of the so-called Brewster's Warbler at North Andover in the spring of 1907. 

 Brewster's Warbler, Vermivora Icucobronchialis is now no longer thoughtof as a 

 possible species, but is considered a hybrid of the Golden-winged and the Blue- 

 winged Warblers, or as a color-phase of these species. 



276 [645] Vermivora rubricapilla rubricapilla (Wils.). 



Nashville Warbler. 



Not uncommon summer resident, common transient visitor. May 2 to Octo- 

 ber 14 (January). 



Eggs: May 21 to June 21. 



277 [646] Vermivora celata celata (Say). 



Orange-crowned Warbler. 

 Very rare transient or accidental visitor. 

 There has been no other record than the one for 1875.
