338 BIRDS OF THE NEW YORK CITY REGION 



hillsides up the Hudson River valley, and it is consequently 

 a rare transient near that river. Further inland in our terri- 

 tory it is very rare or unknown. 



Long Island. Common summer resident; April 27 to Sep- 

 tember 27 and casually October 22.

 by Bicknell). 



New York State. Rare summer resident at Ossining (Fisher). 

 A common transient in Central Park, but rare on migration else- 

 where.

 (Anne A. Crolius) to June 2, 1909 (Anne A. Crolius); August 

 20, 1905 (Hix) to September 26, 1921 (Griscom) and October 

 5, 1921 (Laidlaw Williams); rarely arrives in April, and seldom 

 seen after the height of the migration in May, or after Sep- 

 tember 20. 



BRONX REGION. Rare transient; May 2, 1916 (L. N. 

 Nichols) to May 23, 1920 (L. N. Nichols); August 24, 1919 

 (Granger) to September 15, 1917 (Hix). 



New Jersey. An uncommon but regular transient at Eliza- 

 beth (Urner) and Englewood; one of the rarest Warblers at Plain- 

 field (Miller); one record at Summit (Holmes), one at Montclair

ENGLEWOOD REGION. Uncommon transient; May 2, 

 1914 (Griscom) to May 26, 1916 (Weber) and June 5, 1890 

 (Dwight); August 23 (Weber) to September 24, 1904 (Hix 

 and W. H. Wiegmann). 



OVENBIRD (Seiurus aurocapillus) 



A common and familiar summer resident in woodland 

 throughout. Just what happens to our Ovenbirds in the fall 

 is somewhat of a mystery, but after the song season is over 

 the bird is very hard to find. In Central Park where it is a 

 very common transient in spring, it is seldom recorded in fall.
