The Migration of Warblers 



205 



This species is correctly considered one of the latest migrating Warblers, 

 and is seldom seen in the Gulf states before the last week in April. It 

 makes the trip from Florida to Maine at twice the speed of the Black-and- 

 white Warbler, and the individuals that nest in Alaska travel at an average 

 speed of not less than seventy-five miles per day.
