266 Ma^o-h, Birds of Madiso?t County, N. Y. \_fX 



26. Dendroica virens. Black-throated Green Warbler. — Re- 

 corded as "faiiij common during migrations." It is, however, a not 

 uncommon summer resident among the hemlocks in several localities in 

 the northeastern part of the county. Mr. Miller states that it is common 

 at Peterboro. 



27. Dendroica palmarum. Palm Warbler. — Mentioned only in 

 hypothetic list. Mr. Miller calls it a not uncommon migrant at Peter- 

 boro. 



28. Geothlypis agilis. Connecticut Warbler. — Not listed. A rare 

 fall migrant at Peterboio, according to Mr. Miller. 



29. Geothlypis Philadelphia. Mourning Warbler. — Given as "a 

 rather rare transient visitant. Occasionally seen during the summer." 

 According to Mr. Miller it breeds rather commonly at Peterboro. I find 

 it in high woods on the Stockbridge East Hills. 



30. Icteria virens. Chat. — Not listed. Mr. Miller has taken a single 

 specimen at Peterboro. 



31. Wilsonia mitrata. Hooded Warbler. — "Rare. Two individ- 

 uals seen May 29, lyoo, one of which was captured, now in the writer's 

 collection." The Hooded occurs as a regular (breeding) summer resident 

 in the woods with the Cerulean on the Stockbridge West Hill where I 

 found it first in 1S96, subsequently in 1S98 and 1900. (See Auk, XVH, 

 178, 1900.) Two specimens Avere taken ; one, June 24, 1S98, which is in 

 my own collection ; a second, adult female, June 15, 1900, now in the 

 U. S. National Museum collection (No. 1 72461). Upon one of my \i.sits 

 in 1900 a partially fledged bird was seen with one parent. On Jul\- 22, 

 1902, an adult bird in song was seen again in the same restricted area 

 where the previous ones were observed. Altitude about 1250 feet. 



32. Wilsonia canadensis. Canadian Warbler. — Put down as "not 

 uncommon during migrations." Should be given as a not uncommon 

 summer resident. Mr. Miller calls it common at Peterboro; but I have 

 summer records from only two stations, both not far south of Oneida. 



33. Toxostoma rufum. Brown Thrasher. — Mr. Embody records 

 a single specimen. The bird is rather rare in the northern part of the 

 county, being most often seen in the lowlands toward Oneida Lake. Mr. 

 Miller calls it an extremely rare migrant at Peterboro. 



34. Certhia familiaris americana. Brown Creeper. — Mr. Embody's 

 records indicate that it breeds near Hamilton, and according to Mr. Miller 

 it breeds at Peterboro. 



35. Hylocichla guttata pallasii. Her.mit Thrush. — Given only as a 

 common transient visitant, which would be my Aerdict. Mr. Miller, how- 

 ever, found it breeding commonly at Peterboro. 



36. Hylocichla alicae. Grav-cheeked Thrush.— Given only in the 

 hypothetic list. Mr. Miller states that it is not an uncommon migrant at 

 Peterboro.
