142 The Wilson Bulletin — No. 96 



immature was taken and it was accompanied by another of the 

 same species. These were in a small brush patch in an open 

 field. On July 14, a single bird was noted in a sapling at the 

 edge of a field. 



Pine Warbler — Dendroica vigorsi vigorsi. 



Quite a colony has been located in a small belt of scrub pine 

 trees which fringe the cliffs overlooking Turnbull Creek near 

 where it flows into Harpeth River. This pine grove is three- 

 quarters of a mile long and from fifty to one hundred and 

 fifty feet in width. It was first noted here on June 6, 1915, when 

 a single specimen was seen and secured. The bird was a mature 

 male and was much soiled with pitch. I visited the grove again 

 on July 4, 1916, accompanied by Prof. A. C. Webb and Dr. May- 

 field, and was agreeably surprised to find about twenty-five of 

 the birds feeding among the pines. Three specimens were taken 

 and all proved to be birds of the year. A thin fringe of pines 

 along the cliffs at Sulphur Springs was examined, but no pine 

 warblers were in evidence. 



Other warblers which I hope to add to the above list of summer 

 species are the Prairie, Swainson's, Bachman's, Black-throated 

 Green, and possibly Cairn's. I shall not be surprised to find the 

 first named fairly common, tho of local distribution. The Swain- 

 son's I have taken 65 miles west of here on Sept. 7, in a swamp in 

 which I have every reason to believe is its summer home. Lack of 

 time has prevented me from investigating earlier in the season. 

 I have taken the Prairie as early as August 30th and the Black- 

 throated Green as early as August 23, which might indicate 

 breeding birds.
