CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 653 



tree, hiding behind a branch, but, curiously enough, still singing. 

 I approached under cover and on taking the bird found I had been 

 fortunate enough to secure a specimen of D. kirtlandii in good 

 plumage. On stepping the distance from the tree where I was 

 standing to the tree on which the bird was singing when I first 

 heard him, I found it to be no yards, which goes to show the power 

 of his voice." (/. Hughes-Samuel.) 



671. Pine Warbler. 



Dendroica vigorsii vigorsii (Aud.) Ridgw. 1885. 



Several seen on June 20th, and September 27th, 1902, on Sable 

 island, N.S. ; one taken, June 8th, 1904; one, May 28th, 1905, and 

 several„September 30th in a northwest gale; one seen June 17th and 

 several, September 29th, 1906; one seen, May i6th, 1907. (/. 

 Boutelier.) Said to occur in New Brunswick by Dr. Adams. 

 (Chamberlain.) A specimen was picked up on Haymarket square 

 by master Ralph Finlay and communicated to me by Mrs. M. V. 

 Laurence. (A. G. Leavitt.) Specimens have been taken in Quebec 

 prior to 1889. (Dionne.) A scarce transient visitant at Montreal. I 

 have shot specimens of this warbler on the spur of Mount Royal 

 from September 12th to 26th. (Wintle.) 



A rare spring migrant at Ottawa. (Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.) 

 One taken by Mr. Tavemer on April 30th, 1898, is the only record 

 I have for either the Parry Sound or Muskoka district. (/. H. 

 Fleming.) I found these birds quite abundant among the pines 

 west of Toronto in 1894, the first arrivals were noted on the 21st 

 April; on the 8th May, 1895, I took one specimen and on 20th 

 April, 1896, met another single bird; since these dates I have not 

 met with the species, either on account of none having visited 

 this district or more likely because the haunts in question have been 

 denuded of the trees. (/. Hughes-Samuel.) A rather common 

 species at Hamilton, Ont., where it raises its young every season. 

 (McUwraith.) Rather rare both as a migrant and summer resident, 

 though it may be found each year in a few pine woods around 

 London, Ont. (IV. E. Saunders) A tolerably common summer 

 resident to the north and east of Manitoba. (E. T. Seton.) A 

 tolerably common summer resident at Aweme, Manitoba ; it arrives 

 about May 15th and leaves about September 2nd. (Criddle.)
