HOODED WARBLER. 



Sylviana mitral a. 



Above olive-yellow ; forehead, cheeks, breast and belly bright yellow ; 

 crown, chin and neck all round jet black ; wings and tail brown, the 

 latter spotted on the three outer feathers near the tip with white ; bill 

 black; feet pale. Length, 5.65 inches. 



Migratory. Arrives early in May, leaves early in September. A rather abundant 

 bird, lovely in plumage, and a charming singer. It must be sought in remote spots, since 

 it loves dense woods whose shelter it seldom abandons. It nests in low situations.
