NASHVILLE WARBLER 



September 25, 1893 

 May 9, 1894. 

 May 10, 1897 

 May 13, 1898 



THE coloring of the Nashville is 

 in plain washes without distinctive 

 marks. Upper parts olive, head and sides 

 of neck bluish ash, throat pure yellow shad- 

 ing to lighter yellow underneath. It is the 

 yellowest of the plain warblers. 



May 10, 1807. I heard its song, some- 

 what jumbled, a little like a goldfinch, but 

 I only heard it a few times. 



May, 1898. Had fine study of song. 

 Description in Chapman's book perfect. 

 First note very high, repeated several 

 times, second note lower and uttered 

 rapidly like a chipping sparrow's. Rather 

 an insignificant and unmusical song. 



July, 1905- Heard a warbler — always 

 invisible — for several weeks at S. W. 

 Harbor, Me., sing over and over a never 

 varying song — six notes all alike, then a 

 rapid trill like a chippy. Was it the Nash- 

 ville? It was not just like what I had
