THIS bird ranks close to the Black- 

 burnian and black-throated green 

 warblers in brilliancy. 



May 75, 1894. I heard the song, quite 

 sweet, warbled, something like the first 

 "whee-chee-tee" of the Maryland yellow- 

 throat, but it is broken off, in fact the bird 

 never seemed to finish it. It is not nearly 

 as long as the yellow-throat's song, but it 

 is sweet and melodious. 



May 24th. It varies its song a good 

 deal, but retains the broken off, interrupted 

 effect, and is always musical and sweetly 

 warbled. 



July 14, 1905. S. W. Harbor, Me. 

 Song "whit-chee, whit-chee, whit-chee, 

 wee-up," the last very hurried and broken 

 at the end, the whole sounding at a dis- 

 tance as broken off and abrupt as the 

 Acadian Flycatcher. Heard another song 

 among the thick woods for days and days,
