io8 WARBLERS 



YELLOW PALM WARBLER 



Dendroica palmar um hypochrysea. Case 6, Fig. 61 



Underparts bright yellow streaked with reddish brown; cap 

 reddish brown; line over the eye yellow. L. si- 

 Range. Nests from Maine northward; winters from North 

 Carolina to the Florida Keys; west to Louisiana. 



Washington, T. V., common, Mch. 31-Apl. 29; Sept. 4-Oct. 28. 

 Ossining, tolerably common T. V., Apl. Il-May 5; Sept. 20- 

 Nov. 8. Cambridge, usually common, sometimes abundant, 

 T. V., Apl. 15-May 5; Oct. 1-15. 



A tail-wagging Warbler that frequents bushy places, 

 weedy fields and open pine woods and gardens, living near 

 the ground where it may be easily seen. Its call-note, 

 chip, is distinctive and one learns in time to recognize 

 it. Its song is a trill, clear and sweet, but by no means 

 loud. 



The Palm Warbler (D. p. palmarum) is the Mississippi 

 Valley form of the Atlantic coast race, from which it 

 differs in having the line over the eye white instead of yel- 

 low; the yellow of the underparts paler and confined to 

 the throat and breast. It is not infrequent during the fall 

 migration in the North Atlantic States and, in Florida, is 

 far more common than the Yellow Palm. 



Washington, rare T. V., Apl. 22-May 18; Sept. 18-Oct. 11. 

 Ossining, T. V., Apl. 29; Sept. 30-Oct. 12. Cambridge, uncom- 

 mon T. V. in fall, Sept. 15-Oct. 10. N. Ohio, tolerably common

 T.V.,Apl.23-May 19; Sept. 4-Oct. 18. SE. Minn., common T.V., 

 Apl. 23; Sept. 17-Oct. 3.
