WARBLER. 173 



much larger; legs greenish brown. The female and young bird 

 want the black on the throat, and the colours are less bright. 



Inhabits Pennsylvania, coining the end of march, or beginning 

 of April, and departing in Autumn; likewise met with among the 

 maples, about New York, during the summer, and in swampy places; 

 probably passes the winter in Jamaica, St. Domingo, and other parts 

 in the same latitude. 



I observe this among Mr. Abbot's drawings, by the name of 

 Black-streaked Warbler ; said to frequent the swamps and Oak 

 woods of Georgia, in summer, and to run about trees, in search of 

 insects like the Creeper. Is subject to much Variety, at different 

 periods of age. It is ranked by some authors among the Creepers.
