Yellow-throated Warbler in Brooklyn, N. Y.— On the morning of 

 April 29, 1917, while walking through Prospect Park, Brooklyn, I was 

 attracted by a loud ringing song quite strange to me, though somewhat 

 suggestive of that of the Indigo Bunting. I easily located the singer in 

 some low maple trees on the bank between the Rose Garden and Flatbush 

 Ave. In its actions the bird was very deliberate, strikingly different from 

 most members of its family in this respect. I was able to approach within 

 a few feet as it was so tame or perhaps exhausted from its unusual journey, 

 and I was thus able to identify it at my leisure. 



I could see no trace of yellow in the line in front of the eye which would 

 indicate that the individual belonged to the western race known as the 

 Sycamore Warbler, but as the amount of yellow is variable and the geo- 

 graphical probability is in favor of the Yellow-throated Warbler I leave the 

 subspecific identification open. This is in all probabihty the same bird 

 seen by Mr. Fleisher (Bird-Lore, 1917, p. 150) on the day previous and 

 identified as the eastern subspecies. Later in the day I again saw the 

 bird, in company with Mr. Preston R. Bassett. It was not singing on 

 this occasion but was still so tame and deliberate in its movements that it 

 was easily studied. Since then on subsequent visits to the same locality 

 I have been unable to find any trace of the bird.— Ralph M. Harrington,
