THE PROTHONOTARY WARBLER TX MICHIGAN. 



My first record of Protonotaria citrea in Michigan is that of a male at 

 Cadillac, Wexford County. May 7th, 1882. T did not again meet this bird 

 until May 8th, 1896, when Mr. Norman A. Wood and T made a trip "Down 

 in Egypt," in the township of Lyons, Oakland County. Tn this vast swamp 

 we secured a pair, male and female, with their nest and eggs. 



Again on May 9th, 1903, in company with Mr. Alexander W. Blain, Jr., 

 we observed a male in full song, but did not secure him. at Grosse Pointe, 

 Wayne County. This bird is a summer resident of the Carolinean Zone of 

 the state.

OUR PRESENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE DISTRIBUTION OE THE 

 YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT IN MICHIGAN. 



Our present knowledge of the distribution of the Chat (Ictcria irirens) 

 in this state is very limited, much more so than it should be. The late Dr. 

 H. A. Atkins, of Locke, Ingham County, reported it there at various times, 

 and his records must be considered good. Jerome Trombly. of Petersburg, 

 Monroe County, says common and nested here prior to 1881. Maj. A. H. 

 Boies records one specimen from Lenawee County (no date). Dr. Robt. H. 

 Wolcott and the writer found them very common in May, 1893, at various 

 places, and secured a fine series of specimens; these were taken about four 

 miles south of Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County. Again in the same locality, 

 in company with Prof. Dean C. Worcester, on May 4th, 1895, T secured a 

 pair (male and female), which were nesting. Mr. Win. A. Davison found 

 them breeding in Wayne County near Detroit. Our latest record is that of 

 Mr. Chas. Wisner at Grosse Pointe, Wayne County. 



These birds must be considered as belonging to the Carolinian Life Zone 

 of Michigan.
