2O9. Helminthophila peregrina ( Wils.). TENNESSEE 



WARBLER. 



A rare spring and fall migrant and in the upper Canadian re- 

 gions of the northern part of the state an uncommon summer 

 resident. About L,ake Umbagog the bird was stated by Mr. C. 

 J. Maynard ('72) to be common, and more recently, Mr. William 

 Brewster is quoted as saying that it is there found during the 

 breeding season, generally in larch swamps, but sometimes 

 among coniferous growths on the mountain sides. Among the 

 White Mountains it is a rare and local summer resident. Dr. 

 Walter Faxon ('89) records that in 1887 he and Mr. Bradford 

 Torrey found two males in full song throughout the breeding 

 season, <( in some pasture land largely grown up to black spruce 

 in Franconia, * * ' * at a high level (some distance above the" 

 Profile House Farm)." In late May, 1888, the bird was detect- 

 ed in the same place, and ' ' also in an extensive larch swamp in the 

 lower part of the same town, where Mr. Torrey found it againjin 

 the latter part of the following month. ' ' Mr. Torrey has several 

 times since i ecorded the bird from this locality. Elsewhere among 

 the White Mountains it has not been detected in the breeding sea- 

 son so far as I am aware. In migrations the bird has been ob- 

 served once in late May, 1897, at Dublin, by Mr. G. H. Thayer ; 

 one was captured on the Isles of Shoals Sept. 9, 1877, and re- 

 corded by Mr. John Murdoch ('78) on supposedly good author- 

 ity as If. celata, but Mr. William Brewster ('82) who later 

 examined the specimen pionounced it to be peregrina ; one was 

 noted at 4,000 feet on Mt. Adams on Sept. 2, 1884, by Dr. A. 

 P. Chadbourne ('87); and Mr. C. F. Goodhue has taken it at 

 Webster. According to Mr. F. W. Batchelder ( : oo, p. 133) 

 it is a " rare transient visitant " at Manchester. 

 Dates : May 20 to September 9.
