Abundant transient visitor. April 5 to May 16 (May 21) ; October i to 

 October 26 (November 2, 4) ; average date of arrival in the spring for eight years, 

 April 19. 



The November 2 record is of a bird seen at Plum Island, in 1918, by Judge 

 C. F. Jenney and the November 4 record is of a bird seen in Danvers, in 19 17, by 

 Dr. W. G. Fanning. 



293 [673] Dendroica discolor (Vieill.). 



Prairie Warbler. 



Common summer resident, locally. May 5 to September 25. 



Eggs: May 29 to June 12. 



Swampscott has been so built up and its bushy lands destroyed that it is 

 doubtful if the Prairie Warbler still breeds there to any extent. It does breed in 

 the pastures about Salem, but I know of no other breeding locality in the County.
