12, 1883, by F. W. Powell, and another at Omaha, May 24, 1893, by 

 L. Skow. Breeds north of the United States. 



652. Dendroica sestiva (Gmelin) — Yellow Warbler. 



An abundant summer resident and breeder throughout the state, 

 especially eastward; arriving the first week in May, breeding late 

 in that month, through June and into July, and departing early in 

 September. 



654. Dendroica caerulescens (Gmelin) — Black-throated Blue Warbler. 



This bird Aughey found present in small numbers during both 

 spring and fall migrations, in eastern Nebraska, and he records shoot- 

 ing one at Lincoln in September, 1874. Brunei- has noted it on rare 

 occasions at both Omaha and West Point, but no other observers 

 seem to have seen it. Breeds from northern states northward. 



655. Dendroica coronata (Linnaeus) — Myrtle Warbler. 



An abundant migrant in at least the eastern half of the state, un- 

 common westward. Arrives late in April and lingers until the middle 

 of May, appearing again in October and present during most of that 

 month. Aughey records finding young birds in eastern Nebraska 

 on several occasions, and seeing birds in June, but it has not been seen 

 in summer by recent observers, and, while offering no explanation 

 of A-ughey's observations, we cannot accept it as a breeder. Win- 

 ters south of us. 



656. *Dendroica auduboni (Townsend) — Audubon Warbler. 



A very common summer resident among the pines of Sioux county, 

 where it breeds. A nest was found May 20, 1900, by the expedition 

 of that year, which, however, contained no eggs. On June 14, 1901, 

 Cary found a nest inWarbonnet canyon from which a set of four fresh 

 eggs was secured on the 27th of that month. 



657. Dendroica maculosa (Gmelin) — Magnolia Warbler. 



An uncommon migrant. Aughey records it as occasionally seen 

 during migrations in northeastern Nebraska and of having taken one 

 near Ponca in May, 1865. A specimen taken at Omaha by F. J. Bre- 

 zee is now in Bruner's collection. Cary found them in fair numbers 

 at Neligh during the spring migration, May 16 to 22, but not in the 

 fall. Recorded twice from Lincoln. Breeds north of the United 

 States. 



658. *Dendroica caerulea (Wilson) — Cerulean Warbler. 



A rather common summer resident along the wooded bluffs of the 

 Missouri river, where it breeds. In the vicinity of Omaha several 

 nests have b'een found. It arrives early in May and departs late in 

 August. Cary took a female at Neligh May 17, 1899. 



659. *Dendroica pensylvanica (Linnaeus) — Chestnut-sided Warbler. 



A common migrant along the eastern edge of the state. In the 

 vicinity of Omaha it is frequently seen throughout the summer, and
