of this species within our limits, Mr. E. W. Nelson says :* ''Com- 

 paratively rare. It breeds rarely." 



The range of the Golden-winged Warbler lies chiefly in the 

 eastern United States during the summer months, breeding 

 from northern New Jersey and northern Indiana to southern 

 Ontario, and also in the Alleghanies southward to South Caro- 

 lina. It winters southward through Central America to the 

 northern portion of South America.

The Nashville Warbler is a rare migrant at the present time. 

 Mr. E. W. Nelson reported it in 1876 to be a rare summer 

 resident and very common during its migrations.f In its spring 

 migrations it arrives within our limits from the first to the fif- 

 teenth of May, and it returns in the fall during the month of 

 September. Mr. Robert Kennicott states in his list of Cook 

 County birdsj that the Nashville Warbler is "common during 

 the latter part of April and throughout the month of May." In 

 his Ornithology of Illinois, Mr. Robert Ridgway says that it 

 "breeds in the extreme northern counties of the state." 



The range of the Nashville Warbler covers North America 

 east of the Great Plains and from the Fur Countries southward, 

 in winter, to Mexico and Central America. It breeds from north- 

 ern Illinois and Connecticut northward.

Formerly the Orange-crowned Warbler was a common, but 

 at the present time it is a rare migrant within our limits. In the 

 spring it arrives from the last of April to the last of May ; in the 

 fall it returns during the month of September. In 1876 Mr. E.
