24 Wood, Warblers in Wayne County, Mich., in 1909. |_Jan. 



16, and they were still common on the 23d, the sexes being about 

 equal in numbers. An adult and a young male were noted in this 

 woods August 22. On the river district three junior birds seen 

 August 29, ten, mostly adults, September 12, and an adult male 

 September 19. 



Black-throated Green Warbler (Dendroiea virens). — The 

 twenty-five counted May 8 and 9 were mostly males, after which 

 the sexes were about equally divided in numbers. A male May 29 

 was the last in spring. In the large flock of May 16, 180 (estimated) . 

 First autumn individual noted September 5, and seven on the 6th ; 

 all junior birds. October 16, two adult males and two junior 

 males were noted, and on the 17th, one adult male and female, 

 three junior males, and one junior female. 



Palm Warbler (Dendroica jxdmarum). — Tolerably common 

 on the river district. The four noted May 1 and one May 2 were 

 all males. May 8 only three of the eighteen seen were examined 

 and these were males. The fourteen seen May 9 consisted of four 

 males and ten females. No males observed after this date, the 

 season closing with three females May 15. Two females in the 

 large inland flock of May 16. Absent in autumn. Somewhat 

 rare in autumn and entirely absent some years. Tolerably com- 

 mon only September 20 and 27, 1908. 



Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapillus) . — The river district is not 

 suitable for them and none were seen until the inland visit May 16, 

 when nine were counted, and eighteen mated pairs on the 23d. 

 An adult male, September 26, was the last for the year. July 4, 

 I was stalking a Green Heron on P. C. 404, Gratiot Twp., when an 

 Ovenbird flushed from her nest containing four slightly incubated 

 eggs — rather late. 



Water-Thrush (Seiurus novcboracensis) . — No suitable territory 

 for this species was visited during the year, which accounts for 

 its rarity on this list. A female was flushed from a bush pile on 

 high ground May 19, another in a flock of Redstarts August 15, 

 and the first autumn transient and a third female on the 29th were 

 all we noted during the year. 



Louisiana Water-Thrush (Seiurus motacilla). — Two inland, 

 May 16, were the only ones seen during the year. This species 

 is a summer resident in certain restricted areas.
