BIRDS OK THE CHAND PKK REGION. — TUFTS. 193 



660. Dendroica castanea (Wils.). Bay-breasted Warbler. 



— Uncommon summer resident. Arrive regularly 

 during the first week in June, when for a few days 

 they are not uncommon. By the 10th they have 

 moved on, and are rarely met with during the 

 nesting period. 



661. Dendroica striata (Forst.). Black-poll Warbler. — 



Not uncommon during the spring migration, June 1 

 to 10th. No records later than June 20th. For 

 some inexplicable reason, these birds betake them- 

 selves for the nesting period to the small storm-swept 

 islands off the southern coast of this province 

 where they nest about July 1st. 



662. D e7idr oica fusca (^luW.). Blackburnian Warbler. — 



Uncommon summer resident. Found most fre- 

 quently in the heavily timbered districts about 

 Black River Lake, especially in sections where 

 spruces and firs predominate. 



667. Dendroica firens (Gmel.). Black-throated Green 

 Warbler.^ — Common summer resident, May 4 

 to Sept. 15th. Nests first week in June. Found 

 commonly about the woodland pastures and in 

 fact wherever there are enough coniferous trees 

 to form a grove. 



672a. Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea Ridgw. Yellow 

 Palm Warbler. — Summer resident, common locally. 

 During the spring and autumn migrations these 

 warblers may be seen about our gardens and country 

 roadsides. The nesting season finds them in the 

 interior where they favor the peat bogs and broad 

 barrens. I have frequently observed their nests 

 about the middle of May.
