36 THE BIRDS OF SPRINGFIEI.B AND VICINITY. 



According to Dr. J. A. Allen, in -the Catalogue of the Birds of 

 Springfield, one was taken in Springfield July 2, 1862, by B. 

 Hosford. 



661. Dendroica striata (Forst.). Black-poll 

 Warbler. Common spring and autumn migrant. 



662. Dendroica blackburniae (Gmel.)- Black- 

 BURNiAN Warbler. Rather common spring and autumn 

 migrant; in May, 1900, it was abundant. In J. A- Allen's 

 Rarer Birds of Massachusetts there is a record of its breeding 

 in Holyoke. I have seen it in Chester in summer, and I pre- 

 sume it breeds there, as it does a short distance west. 



663. Dendroica dominica (I/inn.). Yellow-throated 

 Warbler. A very rare visitor from the South. Dr. David 

 Crary states that during fifteen years of collecting he secured 

 several specimens near Hartford (see Merriam's Birds of Con- 

 necticut, page 17). In May, 1892, the late William W. Col- 

 burn observed one in Springfield about where Ridgewood terrace 

 has since been located. 



667. Dendroica virens (Gmel.)- Black-throated 

 Green Warbler. Abundant migrant, and not a very com- 

 mon summer resident. 



671. Dendroica vigorsii (Aud.). Pine Warbler. 

 Common summer resident. 



672. Dendroica palmarum (Gmel.). Palm Warbler. 

 A rare autumn visitor. 



672. a Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea Ridgw. 



Yellow Palm Warbler. Common spring and autumn 

 migrant. 



673. Dendroica discolor (Vieill,). Prairie Warbler. 

 Rather uncommon migrant and rare summer resident. Dr. J. 

 A. Allen stated that it was common here in May one year.
