THE CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER NESTING AT 
JEFFERSON, ASHTABULA CO., 0. 
Robert J. Sim. 
On June 2(i (1907) Miss Mary I. Hoskins discovered the nest 
of a pair of Chestnut-sided Warblers in a bit of woodland not 
more than a mile north-east of town. The locality is an ideal 
one for warblers. There are perhaps fifteen or twenty acres in the 
wooded tract. Tall second-growth timber predominates, but 
here and there are towering parent trees of White Oak, Tulip, 
Cucumber, Beech, Hickory and Maple. The west side is mostly 
clear of under-brush, but in some parts of the piece are rank 
growths well sorted into colonies of Beech, Maple and Oak 
sprouts. In about the center a small clearing has been made 
and here the Blackberry, Spice-bush and Red-berried Elder run 
riot. 
In this place a female Chestnut-side was noticed passing thru 
the brush. A short search resulted in the discovery of the nest 
placed two feet above the ground among some leafy blackberry 
stems near the foot of a large beech. The naked cowbirdling in 
the nest was as large as the two young warblers together, and 
these were all but smothered by him. He was removed. The 
mother-warbler remained within a few feet of her home, chirping 
anxiously and fluttering about with spread wings and tail.
