The quiet little zee-zee, zee-ee-zee of the Black-throated 

 Green announces the arrival of the vanguard of true 

 Wood Warblers, which for the succeeding two weeks will 

 pass in countless numbers through our woodlands, still 

 almost leafless. At this time we may find him wherever 

 trees grow, but his real summer home is coniferous forests, 

 especially of hemlocks, in which he often builds his nests 

 15-20 feet above the ground. The eggs, laid in late 

 May or early June, are white spotted and speckled with 

 brown. 



A southern form of this Warbler (D. v. waynei) has been 

 described from the vicinity of Charleston, S. C.
