652. Yellow Warbler. 
Dendroica estiva (GMEL.) BarRD. 1858. 
Specimens obtained by Drexler, July 12th, 1860, at Fort George, 
James Bay. (Packard.) Common from Missinabie down the 
Moose River and up James Bay to Richmond Gulf; a nest con- 
taining four eggs was found on an island in the bay, June 23rd, 
1896 ; none observed on a trip across Ungava ; seems to keep 
along the coast. (Spreadborough.) A very common summer migrant 
in Newfoundland. (Reeks.) Very common in gardens around 
Halifax, N.S. (Dowmns.) Common summer resident at Sydney, 
Cape Breton Island, N.S. (C. R. Harte.) Quite common at Bad- 
deck and Margaree, Cape Breton Island, July, 1898; rather rare at 
Brackley Point, Prince Edward Island, June,1888. (Wacoun.) Rather 
common, on Prince Edward Island, and quite as likely to be found 
among lonely alder bushes as in the trees around houses. (Dwight.) 
An abundant summer resident at St. John, N.B. ( Chamberlain.) 
A common summer resident at Scotch Lake, York Co., N.B. (W. 
H{. Moore.) Rare, except near the settlements in the Restigouche 
valley. (Lrittain & Cox.) Common at Lake Mistassini, Quebec. 
(J. M. Macoun.) Common summer resident on the Magdalen 
Islands. (Szshop.) Rather abundant at Fox Bay, Anticosti; a 
few specimens seen at Gaspé Bay, Que. (Brewster.) A common 
summer resident at Quebec. (Dzonne.) An abundant summer 
resident at Montreal; breeds in the city and Mount Royal 
park ; I have found their nests containing eggs from May 29th 
to July 7th, and observed this warbler here from May 7th to Sep- 
tember 3rd. (Wintle.) 
An abundant summer resident in the vicinity of Ottawa. (Of 
tawa Naturalist, Vol.V.) 1 took a male at Emsdale, Parry Sound, 
Ont., on May 27th, 1899, the only one I have seen in Parry Sound; 
it was not uncommon at Rosseau in 1897, and Mr. Tavernier 
regards it as common at Beaumaris. (/. H. Fleming.) Without 
doubt more of this species of warbler remain to breed around 
Toronto than of any other variety. Practically, they are everywhere 
in suitable places, and if a youthful enthusiast wants to study bird 
life he has merely to seat himself near a patch of willows during 
the merry month of May when he will have a grand opportunity 
of becoming acquainted with our common summer yellow-bird ; I 
have noted one of these birds at Toronto as early as 18th April,
