BAY-BREASTED WARBLER (Dendroica castanea) 

 Forty years ago the Bay-breasted Warbler was generally 

 spoken of as a rare transient, but this idea was probably due 

 to the few observers arid the very irregular observation. 

 Certainly by 1900, when the first of the modem generation of 

 active students began work, this species, while uncommon, 

 was observed every spring by those who went afield every 

 day. Like the Tennessee and Cape May Warblers it has 

 markedly increased in the last fifteen years. At the present 

 time it must be called a common spring transient, arriving 

 about May 13, and rarely at all numerous until a week after 

 the height of the migration, when one can see fifteen to 

 twenty-five birds in a morning. In the fall it is also fairly 

 common and regular, chiefly recorded the last week in August
