'SS-5-] Grundtvig on Warblers of Wisconsin. ^ I 



Dendroeca palmarum {Gm.) Bd. Perhaps this Warbler 

 ought not to be included, as it was seldom seen in company with 

 the vest, but generally noticed in the grass and in low bushes 

 instead of in the trees. The first was seen May i , but it was not 

 very common until the 8th ; the greatest number were noticed 

 between this date and the 12th. 



Dendroeca pinus {Bart?-.) Bd. May 31 I shot from out of 

 a flock of D. coronata the first specimen of this Warbler, a fe- 

 male. Afterwards I noticed them in many flocks but seldom 

 found a flock composed entirely of this species, fo,ur or five being 

 the most I have ever seen together. After May 6 it was very 

 scarce, the last one appearing May 12, which was indeed a very 

 peculiar specimen. It proved to be a feinale, with only the 

 upper tail coverts olivaceus, the back and the head being entirely 

 gray, there was no trace of a superciliary line, and below it was 

 sordid whitish. Size, 4J-f , 2^^, and 2. In fact, all of the spec- 

 imens of this Warbler I examined were smaller than the measure- 

 ments given in the ''Key."

Males 54— 5i 2^—2! 2f^— 2 



Females 5 — 4-f| ^:^-^ — 2^ 2 — 1\ 



A peculiar male specimen had three pairs of tail blotches. 



G-eothlypis trichas (Z.) Cab. This Warbler was always 

 noticed over wet, swampy places,'-it preferring the low bushes 

 and shrubs to the higher trees. The first was seen May 10, but 

 they were not very numerous until the i8th, when both sexes 

 appeai-ed. They breed everywhere throughout the swamps. 



Myiodioctes pusillus( WY/s.) Bp. This Warbler was very 

 rare in this section, only a few males being found. Two on the 

 1 2th were the first observed; the 14th I noticed one, the iSth, 

 two, the 22nd, one, and the 23rd, four, but not together ; the 

 24th, 25th, and 28th one was noticed each day. Always found 

 in bushes in low, wet places. 



Myiodioctes canadensis (Z.) Aud. The first was seen 

 May 10, two on the nth and two on the i8th. The first was 

 seen May 10, two on the nth and two on the i8th. The 19th, 

 however, it was very numerous, exceeded only by D. mac7ilosa. 

 The 20th it easily outnumbered the other species and remained 

 quite numerous until the 22nd. The last two were observed 

 May 31.
