126 BIRDS OF SOUTH DAKOTA 



657. MAGNOLIA WARBLER (Dendroica magnolia.) 



A common migrant. The casual observer must look 

 sharply to distinguish this charming Warbler from the Myrtle 

 Bird. The colors are the same but differently distributed. The 

 crown lacks the yellow patch of the Myrtle Bird. The under 

 parts are yellow, heavily streaked with black on throat and sides. 



659. CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER (Dendroica pennsylvanica.) 



A rather rare migrant, but instantly recognized by its 

 chestnut sides, white cheeks and yellow crown. 



660. BAY-BREASTED WARBLER (Dendroica castanea.) 



"A rare migrant" (Visher, for Clay County). Throat, 

 sides and crown chestnut, with a black mask crossing the fore- 

 head and falling upon the cheeks. 



661. BLACK-POLL WARBLER (Dendroica striata.) 



An abundant migrant. Chiefly black and white, the upper 

 parts having a ground color of bluish gray ; much like the Black 

 and White Warblers, but the body is not so streaked; crown 

 black; cheeks with an elongated white patch. In autumn the 

 male has lost his black cap, both male and female having as- 

 sumed the colors of their young. 



662. BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER (Dendroica fusca.) 



"A rare spring migrant" (Visher, for Clay County). 

 Orange and black, with a flaring white spot on the wings ; crown 

 spot, line over the eyes, eyelids, large ear patch, throat and breast 

 flaming orange. This "flaming torch" of deep woods and big 

 trees is one of the most exquisite birds in the Warbler family. 



667. BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER (Dendroica virens.) 



"An uncommon migrant" (Visher, for Clay County). Olive 

 green, with yellow cheeks ; throat and breast black ; much white 

 marking on the wings. 



672. PALM WARBLER (Dendroica palmarum palmarum.) 



"A common migrant" (Visher, for Clay County). Olive 

 brown, with dark chestnut crown ; line over eye, throat and breast 

 yellow.
