272-639(96). Helinitlienis vermivorus (Gmel). Worm-eating Warbler. 



Rare; ■' Lenawee and Hillsdale Counties" (A. H. Boies): ''Northern Indiana, song 

 very like that of Chipping Sparrow " (A. W. Butler). 



Genus HELMINTHOPHILA Ridg. 



273-641-(98). Helniintliophila piiius (Linn.). Blue-winged Warbler, Blue- 

 winged Yellow Warbler. 

 Rare; '•summer sojourner" (Gibbs' Birds of Michigan); "very rare in Monroe 

 County, where it is transient, only two ever seen'' (Jerome Trombley); ''locally distrib- 

 uted " (Dr. M. Gibbs); breeds; nests in May on the ground; eggs four to five; "this and 

 the preceding species are very rare in Northern Indiana" (A. W. Butler); S. E. White 

 took two of these on Mackinac Island July 1, 1889. Helminthophila le^icobronchialis 

 (Brewst.). which has been reported from Michigan, (The Auk, Vol, I, pp. 359-363), is 

 now regarded as a hybrid between this and the next species, as I learn from Prof. 

 J. A, Allen. The same is doubtless true of the bird described as Helminthophila 

 gvnnii in the Grand Rapids Daily Democrat, June 1, 1879. 



274-642-(l(>2). Helmintliophila clirysoptera {Linn.). * Golden-winged Warb- 

 ler; Blue Golden-winged Warbler. 



Throughout the state; May to August; "common summer resident in Monroe 

 County" (Jerome Trombley); "Mackinac Island" (S.E.White); "have found nests 

 with four eggs at Plymouth" (J. B. Purdy); breeds; nests in May, on the ground; eggs 

 four to live, rarely six; one of [our most beautiful warblers. Dr. M. Gibbs writes me 

 that he has taken many nests in Kalamazco County; Mr. Davie says that Mr. J. P. 

 Norris has a set of four eggs from Monroe County, Mich., and a set of five from near 

 Detroit (Nests and Eggs of North American Birds, p. 360), 



275-645 (1()6 part). Helmiuthopliila rnflcapilla (Wils.). * Nashville Warbler, 

 Rather common; migrant; May; " verj' common migrant in Lake County, Indiana, 

 and also a rare resident " (Dr, Brayton's Birds of Indiana, p, 105); "often common in 

 Monroe County" (Jerome Trombley); "Mackinac Island, where it breeds" (S. E. 

 White); "common at Iron Mountain" (E. E. Brewster); possibly breeds; nests in June, 

 on the ground; eggs three to five; feeds on insects; beneficial. 



276-646 (107). Helniintliophila celafa (-Pajy). * Orange-crovfned Warbler. 



Rare; May and Septemljer; migrant; this one is easily mistaken for the last men- 

 tioned species; "Plymouth" (J. B. Purdy); "common but migrant at Ann Arbor" (Dr. 

 A. K. Fisher); reported several times by Dr. Atkins at Locke. 



277-647-(109). Helminthopliila peregrin a (W?7s.). * Tennessee Warbler. 



Not common;" rare in Monroe County " (Jerome Trombley); taken at Plymouth by 

 J. B. Purdy; May and September and October; migrant; "breeds near L'Anse, Upper 

 Peninsula" (Prof. Ludwig Kumlein); often mistaken for the Nashville Warbler. S. E. 

 White finds this common in late September, and late October at Mackinac Island, 

 where it is also a migrant.
