Myrtle Warbler 59 



days at a time. Magnolia is an exquisite type of Warbler. 

 Its under parts resemble the Canadian, but it can always be 

 told from that bird by the white patch on the wings. One of 

 the prettiest sights I ever saw a-field was a fine male Magnolia 

 feeding among the white, feathery blossoms of a wild 

 cherry tree. 



Myrtle Warbler; Yellow-rumped Warbler. — 

 Dendroica coronata. 5.65 



Common Migrant 



Field marks. — Rump, crown-patch, and sides of breast 

 yellow; white wing-bars; upper parts gray, streaked with 

 black. 



This is about the earliest Warbler to arrive in Spring, the 

 first appearing about Albany the last of April. It apparently 

 remains about fifteen days and then disappears until Fall. 



Black-throated Blue Warbler. — Dendroica 

 cairulescens. 5.28 



Field marks. — Throat, breast, and sides of head black; upper 

 parts bluish-gray; distinct white patch on wing; belly 

 white. 



During the Spring migration of 1907 I found this bird 

 almost as common as the Magnolia. In September and early 

 October it is also present quite numerously.
