498 General Notes. [o^ 



The Indigo Bunting in Colorado.— A male of this species (Passerina 

 cyanta) was seen by the writer at Brighton, Colo., on August 15, 1915. — 

 W. H. Bergtold, Denver, Colo. 



Numerous Migrant Pine Warblers (Dendroica vigorsi) at Fort Lee, 

 N. J. — In the southern part of this locality the coniferous growth was 

 cut away many years ago and it is therefore not suited to the requirements 

 of the Pine Warbler. Ten years or more of migration notes by the writer 

 in this locality show only one or two migrant warblers of this species during 

 a spring flight. The number observed this spring is therefore noteworthy, 

 viz : — 



April 19, 1915 — Id"; April 20, 1915 — 15 a 1 , 59; April 21, 1915 — 

 4cf,4 9; April 24, 1915 — Id"; May 6, 1915 — 1 9. Total 21 d\ 10 9. 

 — J. A. Weber, Box 327, Palisades Park, N. J. 



Black-throated Blue Warbler in Colorado. — The writer has to 

 record the presence of a male of this species ( Dendroica ccerulescens cceru- 

 lescens) in Cheesman Park, Denver, Colo., where it was seen during the 

 whole of June 13 and 14, 1915. It is such an extremely rare visitor to this 

 State that the writer slipped into his home (only a few yards away) and 

 took a skin of this species with him while he again watched the living bird 

 as it flitted about in the evergreens. The writer is extremely sceptical 

 about the correctness of many sight identifications, especially of these 

 rare warblers when reported from Colorado, and hence he took the pre- 

 caution to study the living bird and a skin simultaneously; it was deemed 

 all the more necessary to take this precaution as the writer has not seen 

 the living bird or heard its song in nearly twenty-five years. — W. H. 

 Bergtold, Denver, Colo. 



Cape May Warblers Destructive to Grapes on Long Island. — With 

 much interest I read of the actions of the Cape May Warbler {Dendroica 

 tigrina in recent numbers of 'The Auk.' These warblers were especially 

 abundant here last fall and there were twenty or more on our place from 

 September 20 to October 10. They might be found at all hours of the day 

 in the grape arbor, where they were observed to puncture the grape skins 

 with their bills and drain out the juice. — James W. Lane, Jr., St. James, 

 L. I. 



The Resident Chickadee of Southwestern Pennsylvania. — Atten- 

 tion should be called to a mistake during past years in regard to the 

 resident Chickadee of that region of southwestern Pennsylvania that lies 

 south of central Washington County and east of the first mountain ridge 

 of Fayette County. 



During the writer's earlier ornithological investigations he was led to 

 believe that the Black-capped Chickadee (Penthestes a. atricapillus) regu-
