Helminthophila peregrina (647). Tennessee Warbler. 



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

 Specimens have been taken near Baltimore on September 18 

 ('93, Gray) and September 20 ('93, Pleasants). " At Washing- 

 ton, on August 31 ('90, Figgins ; W. L. Richmond); September

 ('94, Palmer); October 11 ('61, T. C. Smith); October 12 ('90); 

 November 30 ('89), and others are recorded. Some seasons 

 it is not rare in the tall, rank growth of weeds on the Potomac 

 Flats " (Richmond). 



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, Wholey). 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 "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.
