276. (655). Dendroica coronata (i>mw.). Myrtle Warbler. 



Of very general distribution and everywhere common in the 

 migrations, being known to many persons as the Yellow Rumped 

 Warbler. It is also a common summer resident in the northern 

 and eastern parts of the state, growing less abundant at this season 

 as one enters the counties of the Alleghanian fauna. It is primarily 

 a bird whose distribution in the breeding season is limited by the 

 southern boundaries of the Canadian fauna, although a few strag- 

 glers remain to nest south of this limit. It is the first Warbler to 

 appear in spring and the last to leave in fall.
