Oct. 16. Glen Ellyn, common T. V., Apl. 29-May 29; Aug. 25- 

 Oct. 10. SE. Minn., uncommon T. V., May 11. 



A true Wood Warbler, traveling through the trees with 

 the scattered bands of other members of his family as he 

 journeys to and from his summer home. This, in the 

 northern part of his nesting range, is in coniferous forests, 

 in the southern part, deciduous forests. In both, how- 

 ever, the birds require heavy undergrowth in which their 

 bark-covered nest is built within a foot or two of the 

 ground. The grayish white, brown-marked eggs are laid 

 in late May or early June. Miss Paddock in " Warblers 

 of North America " describes the Black-throated Blue's 

 song as "an insect-like buzzing note repeated three or 

 four times with a rising inflection." 



Cairn's Warbler (D. c. caimsi) is a nearly related race 

 having, in the male, black centers to the feathers of the 

 back. It nests in the upper parts of the Alleghanies, from 

 Maryland to Georgia, and winters in the West Indies.

 our winters without apparent discomfort. Its call-note,
