*34. Dendroica virens (Gmel.). BLACK-THROATED GREEN 

 WARBLER. (667.) Eastern North America, breeding from northern 

 Illinois and Connecticut northward to Hudson Bay and southward 

 along the Alleghanies to South Carolina. In the immediate 

 vicinity of New York City this bird is found only as a migrant, 

 arriving from the south late in April and returning about the 

 middle of August. It is known to breed at Highland Falls, N. Y. 

 (Afearns), Bridgeport, Conn. (Averill), and Millers Place, L. I. 

 (Dutcher, MS.). 



*305- Dendroica vigorsii (Aud.). PINE WARBLER. (671.) 

 Eastern North America, breeding from Hayti (?), the Bahamas and 

 Florida north to Manitoba and Maine, and wintering from southern 

 Illinois and North Carolina southward. This Warbler is of local 

 distribution in this vicinity. In northern New Jersey, the Lower 

 Hudson Valley and southern Connecticut it occurs only as a rare 

 migrant, but on certain parts of Long Island, where the scrub 

 pines afford it congenial surroundings, it is not uncommon and 

 breeds. 



306. Dendroica palmarum (Gmel.). PALM WARBLER. (672.) 

 Breeds in the interior of British America north of Manitoba 

 and west of Hudson Bay, migrates southward through the Mississippi 

 Valley, and winters in the South Atlantic and Gulf States, West 

 Indies, and Mexico ; casual in the North Atlantic States. This, 

 species is of rare occurrence here. One specimen was taken at 

 Sing Sing, N. Y., April 29, 1882 (Fisher, Bull. N. O. C, VII, 1882, 

 p. 249), two at Riverdale, N. Y., in the spring of 1877 (Bicknell^ 

 Bull. N. O. C., V, 1880, p. 182), and one struck the Fire Island 

 Lighthouse September 23, 1887 (Dutcher, Auk, V, 1888, p. 182).

 PALM WARBLER; YELLOW REDPOLL. (6720.) Breeds from Nova 

 Scotia northward east of Hudson Bay and migrates southward

 10, and returning late in September and in October. 



308. Dendroica discolor (Vie ill.). PRAIRIE WARBLER. (673.) 

 Breeds from Florida to Michigan and Massachusetts and winters 

 from southern Florida southward. The distribution of the Prairie 

 Warbler in this vicinity is much like that of the Pine Warbler. 

 It is rare in northern New Jersey and the Lower Hudson Valley >
