FALL MIGRATION 



The Black-and-white Warbler is one of the earliest fall migrants; it 

 begins to appear in the Gulf states early in July, and reaches southern 

 Florida by the middle of the month. South of the United States it has 

 been noted in southern Mexico August 13, 1895; in Costa Rica August 

 10, 1883, and in Colombia, South America, August 21. 1898.

BLACK-POLL WARBLER 



No Black -poll Warbler seems to spend the winter north of South Amer- 

 ica, while the southernmost breeding grounds are in northern New York 

 and central Colorado. Therefore, no Black -poll Warbler can have a 

 migration route less than twenty-five hundred miles in length, and the ex- 

 tremes of the range — Alaska and Brazil — are twice that distance apart.
