MARYLAND YELLOW-THROAT 



May 13, 1894

/ TpHESE warblers keep in the dense 

 A thickets and evergreens, usually low 

 down, so they are hard to see, but the 

 song, as constant as the red-eyed vireo's, 

 betrays their whereabouts. The song, well 

 described by "whee-che-tee," three and 

 sometimes four times repeated, is loud and 

 seems to me to have more of the red-eyed 

 vireo's quality than the warbler songs 

 usually have. It is a vigorous and marked 

 song. Yet I have heard the Connecticut 

 warbler sing exactly like it. 



May 14, 1906. This sang "wit-che-tee, 

 wit-che-tee, wit-che-tee, wee-chee-hall-or- 

 ee," a little variation after each thrice re- 

 peated wit-che-tee. 



May 20, 1907. Saw a female Mary- 

 land yellow-throat today. Such a charm- 

 ing little creature as she was, carrying her 

 tail like a little wren. She had quite a 

 tinge of reddish on her forehead, and the 

 yellow of the under tail coverts was plain- 

 ly visible. She stepped along in the grass 

 with such a dainty air she seemed as 

 pretty and winning as the male.
