CANADIAN WARBLER. 



686. Wilsonia canadensis. S l /2 inches. 



Male, with a necklace of black spots, white eye ring 

 and lores; female, and young, with only a slight in- 

 dication of the necklace. 



These Warblers travel northward in company with 

 many other kinds, always keeping in the underbrush 

 near the ground, except when they come ont into 

 orchards and parks. Like the two last, they are very 

 lively, rarely remaining still for more than a few 

 seconds, before they must dash after some tempting 

 morsel that is flying by. 



Song. A loud liquid warble, most nearly resembling 

 that of the Water-Thrush; call, a sharp, querulous 

 chip. 



Nest. Of rootlets and strips of bark, under roots of 

 trees or shrubs or at the foot of stumps in the moss; 

 the four eggs are white with a wreath of chestnut 

 spots around the large end (.68 x .50). 



Range. Eastern N. A., breeding from Massachu- 

 setts and Michigan northward; winters in northern 

 South America.
