Irregular fall migrant, has not yet been noted in spring.

Compsothlypis americana (648). Parula Warbler. 



A common migrant, this species also spends the summer with 

 us in numbers, where it finds the hanging moss ( Usnea), and 

 occasionally elsewhere. First noted near Baltimore on April 

 25 ('91, Gray), it was common on May 4 ('93, Fisher) and began 

 to thin out by May 17 ('92, W^holey). The first fall movement 

 was noted on August 21 ('94), and it was numerous from Sep- 

 tember 12 ('90, Gray) to October 8 ('92, Gray), the latest date 

 being October 17 ('88, Resler). At Washington it a was first 

 noted on April 19 ('91), and common on April 28 ('89); the last 

 was recorded on October 16 ('87)" (Richmond). 



During summer, noted near Baltimore on June 3 ('91, Resler), 

 June 8 and 30 ('93, Wholey), July 4 and 14 ('93 Gray) and 

 July 29 and August 5 ('92, Resler). At Washington on June 

 10 ('86, Richmond). 



On the Isle of Wight, Worcester County, a few miles north 

 of Ocean City, Md., on June 8, '94, I saw a pair feeding four 

 flying young ; this prompted further investigation, and on the 

 12th I found them very numerous, in the 4 hours I spent there, 

 noting at least 50 pairs of adults with young, each brood keep- 

 ing separate. 



On Dan's Mountain I noted a female on June 5, '95, the 

 only one seen there.
