PLATE LI. -BLACK-POLL WARBLER. 



Dendroica stria t a. 



Head black streaked with brown ; back dark ash streaked with black; 

 cheeks white ; throat, breast and belly white, "but all of them streaked 

 on the sides with black ; wings brown with two light bands ; tail square, 

 brown with white spots on some of the inner webs; lower mandible 

 lighter than the upper one ; feet pale. Length 5.50 inches'. 



Migratory. Passes toward the north late in May, and again, southward, late in 

 October. A brisk little fellow, but even less of a singer than most of the so-called 

 "Warblers." Rather abundant during migration.
