192 BIRDS OF THE GRAND PRE REGION. — TUFTS. 



it as the Cape May Warbler. On June 4th of 

 the following year (1916) I was surprised to find 

 several in the old vicinity, all males. They were 

 in a damp spruce wood, consisting of tall slender 

 spruces — the sort of habitat which is favored by 

 the Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Nearby was a more 

 open stretch, on a little higher ground, with some 

 birches showing among the spruces. This locality 

 was too far from home to permit repeated observa- 

 tions, but I believe they nested there.
