672. Palm Warbler. 
Dendroica palmarum palmarum (GMEL.) BAIRD. 1858. 
This species was found common and breeding in the Mer Bleue, 
July 3rd, 1890, by Messrs. W. E. and F. A. Saunders and several 
of the young were shot; it was again seen there August 9th of the 
same year. (Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.) Often found in places 
where one would not usually look for warblers; the palm warbler 
reaches us at Toronto early in May in fair numbers, and some- 
times in the fall it is certainly abundant, as was the case during 
the last week in September, 1899. (J. Hughes-Samuel.) Occurs 
regularly at Toronto but not very common. Hamilton records, 
Apnk 27th, 1800. vand. September sist, «18o6;. (je wie salemenes) 
Usually rare in the migrations, but sometimes quite common around 
London, Ont.; not known to breed in this district. (W.E. Saunders.) 
A fairly common spring and autumn migrant at Aweme, Man. 
first seen about May roth, and last seen October 6th, 1903. (Criddle.) 
An abundant migrant in eastern Manitoba; apparently all go north 
to breed. (E. T. Seton.) Very abundant migrant in Manitoba, 
but not noted breeding. (Atkimson.) Taken at Fort Churchill, 
Hudson bay. (Clarke.) One was seen on a small willow-covered 
island in Hill river, Keewatin, September 4th, 1901. (E. A.Preble.) 
A single specimen of this species was shot on the swampy banks of 
the Saskatchewan at Cumberland House, in a shady thicket of 
willows, alders and ash-leaved maples. (Richardson.) North to 
Fort Resolution on Great Slave lake; rare. (Ross.) 
BREEDING NOTES.—Two nests with four eggs in each, perfectly 
fresh, were taken by me at the Mer Bleue, near Ottawa, Ont., on 
May 25th and July 6th, 1908. On the first occasion I saw the female 
on the top of a black spruce. I hid and watched her for half an 
hour, and when the male appeared the female went straight to 
the nest, which was about fifty yards from my hiding place. The 
nest was on the ground at the base of some smail blueberry bushes 
and lined with fine grass and feathers. (C. H. Young.) 
672a. Yellow Palm Warbler. 
Dendrowca palmarum hypochrysea RipGw. 1876.

1860; Audubon, Vol II., p. 55, found them plentiful in Labrador;
