Dendroica tigrina (650). Cape May Warbler. 



I have only records of 2 specimens taken near Baltimore, 

 one on October 21 ('93, Wholey) at Waverly, the other on October 

 22 ('90, Resler) at Back River. "Not by any means rare in 

 the District of Columbia, some seasons quite common; quite a 

 number of specimens are on record between May 8 ('89, R. 

 Ridgway) and May 16 ('89, R. Ridgway). On August 4, '92 

 (E. J. Brown), one was taken and they are again numerously 

 recorded from August 25 ('90,Figgins) to October 7 ('82, H. M. 

 Smith), while on December 16, '88 (Figgins), an adult male was 

 shot ; it was in company with D. coronaia and was in good health 

 and spirits when found" (Richmond). 



Dendroica aestiva (652). Yellow Warbler. 



Scattered everywhere in migrations, and locally common du- 

 ring summer. On April 6 ('93, R. C. Watters) quite a number 

 were seen and one shot in Dorchester County. April 15 ('95, 

 Wm. Palmer), at Washington; April 21 ('83 Small), at Hagers- 

 town, and April 24 ('89, Resler), are first dates. They soon 

 become numerous, but thin out by May 11 ('92). In the fall I 

 have never seen them so numerous as they are in spring, gener- 

 ally only a single bird being seen at a time, the last on October 

 2 ('94). Nests with eggs are recorded from May 15 ('95, 

 Gray) to June 16 ('95). Sets are 3 of 3, 1 of 4, and 1 of 5. 

 Common at Vale Summit, June 5-14, '95. 



Dendroica cserulescens (654). Black-throated 

 Blue Warbler. 



An abundant migrant, noted as numerous from April 30 

 ('93) to May 15 ('92) ; the last were seen on May 28 ('94), when 

 a pair, male and female, spent the day at Waverly, Baltimore City. 

 August 27 ('89, Resler) notes the first return in the fall and 

 they were numerous from August 31 ('93 Gray) to October 18 

 ('93), when an enormous number were in a small patch of woods. 

 At Washington, "from April 27 ('88, Hasbrouck) to May 30 

 '83 , and from August 31 ('90) to October 19 ('92)" (Richmond).
