96 LAND-BIRDS AND GAME-BIRDS 
are very closely related. They probably frequent open wood- 
land and orchards, and display a like agility in capturing their 
prey among the higher branches. 
(d). Their song Dr. Gambel ‘describes as commencing in 
a low, sweet trill, and ending in tshe-up.” ‘Their usual note 
is a sharp chip.” 
Dr. Brewer thinks that Audubon’s account of this bird is 
incorrect, but whether that is the case or not I do not know. 
Bonaparte, in his continuation of Wilson’s Ornithology, 
says: ‘*During winter, the Orange-crowned Warbler is one 
of the most common birds in the neighbourhood of St. Augus- 
tin, Florida, almost exclusively frequenting the orange trees. 
Their manners resemble those of the kindred species, though 
they have a remarkable habit of constantly inflecting the tail 
like the Pewee. The note consists of a chuck, and a faint 
squeak, but little louder than that of a mouse.” 
“ (E) perecrina. Tennessee Warbler. 
(A very rare migrant through Massachusetts, though a sum- 
mer-resident in northern New England.) 
(a). About 43 inches long. Above, yellow-tinted olive- 
green, with modifications. Superciliary line and under parts, 
white (or yellowish). @Q duller above. (See synopsis, p. 81.) 
(b). The nest and eggs are essentially like those of the 
Nashville Warbler, though the eggs vary, and exhibit certain 
peculiar forms,:and though the nest is ‘‘often placed in woods.” 
(c). The Tennessee Warblers are extremely rare in Eastern 
Massachusetts, and are nowhere common in New England, 
except in a few northern localities, such as Lake Umbagog, 
where they are summer-residents. They journey through this 
State in the latter part of May, and again about the middle of 
September. I have met them here twice in open woodland ; 
Mr. Maynard shot four males, on apple-trees in Newtonville, 
between the 18th and 24th of May, 1869; a pair were shot by 
Mr. William Brewster, near Mt. Auburn on high oak trees; 
and Mr. Allen has ‘taken it repeatedly at Springfield, where 
he has always esteemed it rare.” Audubon considered these
