214 General Notes. [Ath 
Migrant Shrike (Lanius ludovicianus migrans) at Newburyport, 
Mass.— On August 28, 1915, a short distance outside the city limits I 
noted a Migrant Shrike, my first acquaintance with the rather uncommon 
species. And again on August 21, 1916, in the same region a single bird 
of this species was noted.— 8. W. Battey, Pittsfield, Mass. 
The Cape May and Other Rare Warblers at Hatley, Stanstead 
County, Quebec.— The fall of 1916 will ever remain a memorable one 
from the fact of my having added the rare Cape May Warbler ( Dendroica 
tigrina) to my list, as well as the Nashville (Vermivora rubricapilla rubri- 
capilla) and Water-Thrush (Seiwrus noveboracensis noveboracensis) two 
examples of the first, and one each of the two latter having been obtained. 
Of the Cape May five were seen between August 28 and September 12, one 
only of the Nashville on August 16, and one of the Water-Thrush on August 
26. In addition to these a fine male Wilson’s Warbler (Wilsonia pusilla 
pusilla) was obtained on August 24, the second only that I have seen here 
so far. Two Northern Parulas (Compsothlypis americana usnee) were 
observed on August 13, and between August 23 and September 22, nineteen 
examples of the Bay-breasted ( Dendroica castanea) were noted, as well as 
eleven of the Blackburnian ( Dendroica fusca) between August 11 and 
September 9, and twenty of the Canada (Wilsonia canadensis) between 
August 11 and September 17. Two examples of the Yellow Palm ( Den- 
droica palmarum hypochrysea) were seen on May 6, and another interesting 
item was the finding of the Black-throated Blue ( Dendroica cerulescens 
cerulescens) breeding for the first time in June and July— H. Mousey, 
Hatley, Que. 
Breeding of the Canada Warbler in Northern New Jersey.— On 
June 12, 1915, Dr. Wm. H. Wiegmann and the writer observed an adult 
male Canada Warbler (Wilsonia canadensis) at Budd’s Lake, New Jersey. 
This date is more than a week later than transients of this species are 
ordinarily met with. Furthermore, the low woods near the lake are char- 
acterized by a number of northern plants such as the Bunchberry, Gold- 
thread, Dwarf Birch, Larch and many others. There was reason to 
believe, therefore, that the Canada Warbler might prove to be a summer 
resident in this locality. 
Revisiting the Lake on July 4, 1916, I was gratified to find an adult 
female in the same spot and am practically certain that the male also was 
seen. On July 8, the female was observed busily engaged in searching for 
food, its action indicating that it had young nearby. On the following 
day I was so fortunate as to discover one of the young birds only a few days 
out of the nest, a fluffy, brownish fledgling with a tail not more than two- 
thirds or three-fourths grown. It was fed by the mother bird several times 
while I watched. 
Budd’s Lake is situated among the mountains of the western part of
