NESTING OF THE’ PARULA WARBLER (COM- 
PSOTHLYPIS AMERICANA) IN CAPE MAY 
COUNTY, NEW JERSEY! 
BY MARK L. C. WILDE. 
PERHAPS no other portion of the State of New Jersey is better 
adapted as a breeding ground for the Parula Warbler than Cape 
May County. Quite a number of its streams, including Dennis_ 
Creek and tributaries, are dammed off to supply power to the 
various saw and grist mills, thereby forming mill-ponds, and in 
some cases these streams spread over a considerable area, owing 
to the extreme shallowness of the valleys.
