NOTES FROM THE FIELD AND MUSEUM. 



A RECENT RECORD OF THE WILD PIGEON. 



A Wild or Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistcs migratorius) was shot Septem- 

 ber 14th, 1898, at Chestnut Ridge — a few miles from Detroit, by Frank Cle- 

 ments, of this city. The bird — an immature specimen — was later mounted, by 

 Chas. Campion and is now in the collection of J. H. Fleming, of Toronto, 

 Ont. This is probably the last authentic record of this species in Michigan.

SOME RARE WASHTENAW COUNTY WARBLERS. 



On May 10th, 1901, I took my first Prairie Warbler (D. discolor) a fine 

 female. According to my notes this is a very rare warbler in this county. I 

 shall long remember the 14th day of May, 1902, as the "warbler day." It was 

 on this day I took my Kirtland's (D. kirtlandi), (see Auk, xix. p. 291 a 

 female. I also took my first Orange crowned (H. celata) a beautiful female 

 and a fine male Mourning Warbler (G. Philadelphia) . 



The rare White-throated or Brewster's Warbler (H. leucobronchialis) 

 was the trophy for May 18th, 1902. It is an adult male, rather larger than 

 either H. pinus or H. chrysoptera and much different from either in colora- 

 tion. (See Auk. xix. p. 401). 



This coming season I hope to find some new ones, and extend "good 

 (warbler) luck" to the rest of the club members

1903 RANDOMS. 



The following Wayne County notes may be of interest : 



Saw several Hermit Thrushes (Turdus aonalaschkoc pallasii) in a large 

 woods in Dearborn Township. This is a day earlier than my previous records. 



June 7 — Noticed three pairs of Wilson Warblers (Sylvania pusilla) in 

 Grosse Pointe Township. They were mated but not nesting. This is not a 

 common warbler here at any season, and these are the first I have observed in 

 June. Did not see a single Mourning (Geothlypis Philadelphia) although on 

 May 30 it was unusually abundant. 



August 6 — Ecorse Township. Three small flocks of White-throated Spar- 

 rows (Zonotrichia albicollis) noted — remarkably early. Also met with three 

 Bairds' Sandpipers (Tringa bairdii). I mention this not because I consider 

 the occurrence in any way unusual, but because there seems to be a pre- 

 vailing opinion that the species is somewhat rare in the state. Another 

 bird I have seen mentioned as rare is the Gray-cheeked Thrush (Turdus 

 alicoc) while as a matter of fact it is a common migrant here.
