 in the Biological Survey

YELLOW WARBLER 



More notes have been contributed' by the observers on the Yellow Warbler than on 

 any other species of Warbler, and the following records are an epitome of about two thou- 

 sand observations during a period of more than twenty years. The winter range of the 

 Yellow Warbler and its subspecies extends from Western Mexico to Dutch Guiana, a 

 longitudinal winter range equaled by few species. But, though occurring throughout 

 Central America, it is absent from the West India Islands, and reaches the eastern United 

 States in the spring by a roundabout course across the Gulf of Mexico, and is one of the 

 later Warblers to arrive in the Gulf States.
