THE chestnut on this bird's head is 

 almost as bright as that of the chip- 

 ping sparrow and the line dividing this 

 from the cheek quite as conspicuous only 

 it is yellow. It is a very lively warbler, 

 flirting its tail constantly, and running on 

 the ground like a wren. It is remarkable 

 how closely it resembles the Carolina 

 wren when seen in this way. 



Lake Forest, May 4, 1901. Watched 

 a palm warbler sing this morning, the first 

 time I ever heard the song. It is some- 

 thing between the chipping sparrow and 

 the black and white creeper, a monotonous 

 che-we, che-we, che-we. 



April 2J, 1906. Saw three, and two at 

 least were singing, a rather canary-like 

 trill, not a noticeable song. It likes the 

 fences along the roadsides — and flirts in 

 and out tilting his tail constantly.
