DIFFERENT individuals vary very 

 much, I find, in the brilliancy of the 

 coloring. The brighter ones are beauties, 

 The orange-yellow neck and side of head 

 give it the appearance of a yellow-headed 

 bird, almost as much as the black-throated 

 green warbler. The chestnut ear patches 

 are almost lacking in many specimens. 

 They seem to prefer orchards; they are 

 very plentiful at times. Song not remark- 

 able, a thin but rather sweet squeak, re- 

 peated several times. 



May, 1897. The song impresses me as 

 one of the thinnest and least musical of the 

 warbler songs. 



May 7 ', 1905. What a study of one 

 today, in the Joseph Durand ravine, just 

 below us on a bare, small tree, a few feet 

 away, as long as we wanted to watch him ! 

 He ran his bill industriously and faithfully 

 up and down the twigs, eating bark lice
