The Golden-winged Warbler is a rather rare and local 

 summer resident of southern New England and eastern 

 New York. No other 

 New England bird has 

 such a restricted range. 

 It is rare in the Hudson 

 Valley, has been found 

 in New Hampshire only 

 in the Lower Merrimac 

 Valley, and not at all in 

 the interior of Massa- ^'<^- ^2- Golden-winged Warbler 



chusetts, unless in the Connecticut Valley near Springfield. 

 It is not rare in eastern Massachusetts, but is uncommon 

 in Rhode Island and southern Connecticut. It arrives in 

 May, and leaves in August. It frequents dry woodland,

 like that of the Black-throated Green Warbler in its wheezy 

 quality, differs decidedly in form (see pp. 113, 114).
