96 LAND-BIRDS AND GAME-BIRDS 
are very closely related. They probably frequent open wood- 
land and orchards, and display a like agility in capturing their 
prey among the higher branches. 
(d). Their song Dr. Gambel Waeuenhes a as commencing in 
a low, sweet trill, and ending in tshe-up.” ‘Their usual note 
is a sharp chip.” 
Dr. Brewer thinks that Audubon’s account of this bird is, 
incorrect, but whether that is the case or not I do not know. 
Bonaparte, in his continuation of Wilson’s Ornithology, 
says: “During winter; the Orange-crowned Warbler is one 
of the most common birds in the neighbourhood of St. Augus- 
tin, Florida, almost exclusively frequenting the orange trees. 
Their manners resemble those of the kindred species, though 
they have a remarkable habit of constantly inflecting the tail 
like the Pewee. The note consists of a chuck, and a faint 
squeak, but little louder than that of a mouse.” 
(E) peregrina. Tennessee Warbler. 
(A very rare migrant through Massachusetts, though a sum- 
mer-resident in northern New England.) 
(a). About 43 inches long. Above, yellow-tinted olive- 
green, with modifications. Superciliary line and under parts, 
white (or yellowish). 9 duller above. (See synopsis, p. 81.). 
(b). The nest and eggs are essentially like those of the 
Nashville Warbler, though the eggs vary, and exhibit certain 
peculiar forms, and though the nest is ‘‘often placed in woods.” 
(c). The Tennessee Warblers are extremely rare in Eastern 
Massachusetts, and are nowhere common in New England, 
except in a few northern localities, such as Lake Umbagog, 
where they are summer-residents. They journey through this 
State in the latter part of May, and again about the middle of 
September. I have met them here twice in open woodland; 
Mr. Maynard shot four males, on apple-trees in Newtonville, 
between the 18th and 24th of May, 1869; a pair were shot by 
Mr. William Brewster, near Mt. Auburn on high oak trees; 
and Mr, Allen has “taken it repeatedly at Springfield, where 
he has always esteemed it rare.” Audubon considered these
