Some Additional Notes on Swain- 

 son's Warbler. 



BY T. D. PEUUY, SAVANNAH, GEOUGIA. 



This rare Swamp Warbler, Helinaia swainsoni, 

 I tirst mentioned in the pages of the O. and O. 

 for Dec. 18th, 1880, page 188, but this season I 

 have watched them very closely and will en- 

 deavor to give to the readers my observations. 

 This species is said to lay four eggs, to sing 

 very loud and to always lay over or near run- 

 ning water. Now my observations have been 

 somewhat dillerent, and in the first place they do 

 not alwai/s lay over nor even near running ivater, 

 but on high, dry land, and further on I will 

 show that tiie average of nests found on high 

 land is equal to those found in swamps. I also 

 hope to show that they lay four eggs very sel- 

 dom aud at long intervals, (that is, here in 

 Chatham County). 



My tirst nest of this species taken this season 

 was found on May 7th. It contained two fresh 

 eggs. The nest was situated in a gall bush 

 three feet higl), and on high, dry land. This 

 tract of woods lay between the Ogeechee Canal 

 and the Savannah River, so that one bod}' of 

 water was three quarters of a mile away, while 

 the other was a mile distant, and the nearest 

 swamp was half a mile oft". 



My se*!ond nest was found on May 13th and 

 was on the edge of a swamp, which was perfect- 

 lij dry, except a small stream that ran along on 

 the opposite side three hundred yards away. 

 It was placed in the top of a small cane three 

 feet high, and contained three eggs, of which 

 the incubation was advanced. 



M3' third nest was found on May 15th in a
