74 CHECK LIST OF THE 



(*) (670) Kirtland's Warbler. 



(Dendroica kirtlandi.) 



On the i6th of May, 1900, Mr. J. H. Samuel took a bird of this 

 species near Toronto, the only one I have heard of so far. It may yet be 

 found breeding in the interior of the Province, as it does so regularly 

 in Michigan. It is, however, a very rare species everywhere. 



(671) Pine Warbler. 



(Dendroica vigorsii.) 



An irregular summer resident, sometimes common and in other sea- 

 sons scarce. 



Breeds throughout its range in the Province. 



Arrives towards the end of April ; departs in September. 



(672) Palm Warbler. 



(Dendroica palmarum.) 



A tolerably common migrant in spring and autumn. Probably breeds 

 in the northern part of the Province. 



Arrives early in May ; departs about the first of October. 



Our form may be referable to D. p. hypochrysea. Specimens taken 

 by me vary very much in the brilliancy of the yellow coloring. 



(*) (673) Prairie Warbler. 



(Dendroica discolor.) 



A very rare visitor, two specimens of which were taken near Toronto 

 in May, 1900, one each by Messrs. Samuel and Ames. Since then it has 

 been found in south-western Ontario by Mr. Klugh. 



GENUS SEIURUS. 



(674) Oven Bird. (Golden-crowned Thrush.) 



(Seiurus aurocapillus.) 



An abundant summer resident in woods. Breeds throughout its range 

 in the Province. 



Arrives early in May ; departs about the first of September. 



(675) Water Thrush. 



(Seiurus noveboracensis.) 



A common summer resident. Breeds in the interior of the Province. 

 Arrives early in May ; departs early in September. 



(676) Louisiana Water Thrush. 



(Seiurus motacilla.) 



A rare summer visitor along our southern border as far east as 

 Toronto.
