1910] FOREST, GAME AND FISH WARDEN. 103 



members of our great Warbler family. A bird of swampy 

 places. 



(3). Worm-eating Warbler (Helmitherus vermivorus) . Summer resi- 

 dent. Kather common in the woods. 



(4). Blue-winged Warbler (Vermivora pinus). A rare and beauti- 

 ful forest bird. 



(5). Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera) . This war 

 bier is found in glades, open woodland, and old fields. As 

 its name implies, this bird is richly colored. 

 (6). Nashville Warbler (Vermivora rubricapilla) . Irregularly 



common in spring and fall. 



(7). Tennessee Warbler (Vernnvora Peregrina). Eare. One o-f the 

 most plainly colored warblers, yet a very interesting bird. 

 (8). Northern Parula Warbler (Compsothlypis Americana usineae}. 

 A beautiful woodland bird, quite common in the summer. 

 (9). Cape May Warbler (Dendfroica tigrina). Abundant in the fall 

 migration season, and occasionally seen in the spring. De- 

 structive to ripe grapes. 



(10). Yellow Warbler (Dendroica aestiva). Of all this large family 

 of beautiful birds this species is best known. Common in 

 orchards. This is the common ' ' Yellow Bird. ' ' 

 (11). Black-throated Blue Warbler (DendfroiG* caerulesvens) . A 

 very dark-colored warbler found usually in thick forests. 

 One soon comes to associate this bird and its song with dense 

 hemlock and spruce regions, where such northern forms 

 abound. 



(12). Cain's Warbler (Dendroicta caerulescons cairnsi}. This sub- 

 species is a southern form of the Black-throated Blue Warb- 

 ler, and its status in this and other states is not well settled. 

 (13). Myrtle Warbler (Dendroica ooronata). Sometimes called 

 "Yellow-rumped Warbler." One of the hardiest members 

 of this family, sometimes remaining over winter in West 

 Virginia. Very common in migration. 



(14). Magnolia Warbler (Dendroica magnolia). A most beautiful 

 species. Such birds as these put to naught the old argu- 

 ment that richly colored birds are found only in the tropical 

 countries. I have found this species in our mountains dur- 

 ing the nesting season, though I have never found a nest. 

 (15). Cerulean Warbler (Dendroica ceurlean}. A bird of most del- 

 icately colored plumage. Found in great numbers along the 

 hills just back of the Ohio river, but not common in other 

 places in this State. 



(16). Chestnut- sided Warbler (Dendroica pensylvanica) . Not very 

 common at any time. Occasionally seen in migration season, 

 and rarely nests in the mountains. 



(17). Bay-breasted Warbler (Dendroica castanae). Rare migrant. 

 (18). Black-poll Warbler (Dendroica striata). A bird of the far 



north which passes through the State in migration time. 

 (19). Blacburnian Warbler (Dendroica /usm). Tolerably common
