CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 623 



I was standing to the tree on which the bird was singing when I 

 first heard him I found it to be no yards which goes to show the 

 power of his voice. (/. Hughes- Samuel.) 



671. Pine Warbler. 



Dendroica vigorsii (Aud.) Stejn. 1885. 



Several seen on June 20th, September 27th, 1902, on Sable 

 Island, N.S. {James Bouteillier.) Said to occur in New Brunswick 

 by Dr. Adams. {^Chamberlain^ Specimens have been taken in 

 Quebec prior to 1889. {Dionne) A scare transient visitant at 

 Montreal. I have shot specimens of this warbler on the spur of 

 Mount Royal from September 12th to 26th. {Wintle.) 



A rare spring migrant at Ottawa. {Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. V.) 

 One taken by Mr. Tavernier on April 30th, 1898, is the only record 

 I have for either the Parry Sound or Muskoka district. (/. H. 

 Fleming?) I found these birds quite abundant among the pines 

 west of Toronto in 1894, the first arrivals were noted on the 21st 

 April; on the 8th May, 1895, ^ took one specimen and on 20th 

 April, 1896, met another single bird; since these dates I have not 

 met with the species, either on account of none having visited 

 this district or more likely because the haunts in question have 

 bten denuded of the trees. (/. Hughes-Samuel}) Rather rare 

 both as a migrant and summer resident, though it may be found 

 each year in a few pine woods around London, Ont. {W. E. 

 Saunders.) A tolerably common summer resident to the north 

 and east of Manitoba. {Thompson-Seton.) A tolerably common 

 summer resident at Avenue, Manitoba; it arrives about May 15th 

 ind leaves about September 2nd. {Norman Criddle.)
