THE BIRDS OF WISCONSIN. 
Ill 
in the hope of further developments. Since this time two more 
specimens have been taken in Walworth County, both in the 
month of May, and the last, a female, within twenty rods of 
where the young were found in 1897. Neither of these was 
apparently breeding when killed. 
Helmintlioaliila chiysoptera (Linn.). GOLDEX-WINGEI) 
WARBLER, 
This superb warbler is a regular, though rather rare, 
migrant, and a summer resident from the southern part of the 
state northward. Dr. Hoy took several nests at Racine, and 
T. Kumlien procured fledglings in Jefferson County. Grundt- 
vig found it common, in fact, "extremely numerous," in Outa- 
gamie County in 1882-3. He found it a common summer 
resident, but did not find a nest. Recorded by Willard as 
breeding in Brown County, and by Mr. J. N. Clark from 
Dunn County. We have found it more common along Lake 
Michigan than elsewhere, and a rather common breeder at 
Two Rivers in 1881. It is a regular summer resident in Jef- 
ferson County, but as elsewhere is restricted to favorite 
localities. 
Helmintlioaliila rabricapilla (Wils.). NASHVILLE WARBLER. 
A common migrant, becoming exceptionally so in occa- 
sional years, especially in the spring. The Nashville warbler 
nests regularly in different parts of the state. We have nesting- 
records at different times in Walworth County, at Lake 
Koshkonong, Dunn County, and northward. It is an especi- 
ally common migrant along Rock River Valley. A favorite 
nesting site seems to be in tamarack swamps, the nest being 
placed on sphagnum, or reindeer moss. 
Heliuintliophila eelata (Say). ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER. 
Not a very common species in Wisconsin. From the 
records and observations we are able to bring together it seems 
considerably more common in the western than in the eastern 
part of the state. Mr. J. N. Clark finds it common in Dunn 
County. In Jefferson and Dane counties it cannot be called 
common, though regular, especially in spring. It arrives rather 
earlier than others of the same genus, often in the latter part of 
April. Dr. Hoy was positive that it bred in the state, and we 
have taken specimens in Manitowoc County in July. These 
had without question bred there. Thure Kumlien also pro- 
cured two specimens in Jefferson County on June 10 (1860).
