38 THE BIRDS OF SPRINOFIEI.D AND VICINITY. 



684. Wilsonia mitrata (Gmel.)- Hooded Warbler. 

 Accidental ^•isitor ; it has been taken l)y E. I. Shores at Suf- 

 fiekl. At the lower end of the Connecticut valley it is a com- 

 mon summer resident. 



685. Wilsonia pusilla (Wils.)- Wilson's Warbler. 

 Rare spring and autumn migrant. 



686. Wilsonia canadensis (I/inn.). Canadian 

 Warbler. A common spring and autumn migrant ; a few 

 may breed in Blandford and Chester, but I have seen none in 

 summer east of Becket. 



687. Setophaga ruticilla (lyinn.). American Red- 

 start. Conunon sunnner resident. 



697 . Anthus pensilvanicus ( I^ath. ) . American 

 Pipit. Common autunui and rather rare spring visitor. 



703. Mittius polyglottos (I/inn.). Mockingbird. 

 Rare summer resident. Dr. J. A. Allen in the catalogue of 

 the Birds found at Springfield, states that it had been known 

 to breed in Springfield several times within five years, and that 

 in i860 two pair nested here. In recent years a pair spent 

 three successive summers in Tatham and bred there. I have 

 repeatedly known of the presence of individuals in this 

 vicinity.
