One of the best places to find these beautiful warblers was in the woodland

Creek ; 7th and 12th seen again, collected three at Sand Hill. May 3, 1890,

Monroe County: I noted it May 4, 1886, when I saw several northeast 
of Bloomington, and collected one male. 
192. DENDROICA CASTANEA (Wilson). BAY-BREASTED WARBLER. (660)

193. DENDROICA STRIATA (J. R. Forster). BLACK-POLL WARBLER. (661)

every spring, usually well toward the tree-tops. 
194. Dernprorca FruscaA (Miiller). BLACKRURNIAN WARBLER. (662) 
Rather common spring and fall migrant. Often seen in the fruit trees
