PERCHING BIRDS 
619. Sennett’s Warbler. Compsothlypis 
piti ayumi n'lgrilora. 
Range. — Eastern Mexico, north to the Lower 
Rio Grande Valley in Texas. 
This species is similar to the Parula but is more 
extensively yellow below, and has black lores and 
ear coverts. Their habits are the same as those 
of the last and their nests are generally placed in 
hanging moss, and are also said to have been 
found hollowed out in the mistletoe which grows 
on many trees in southern Texas, New Mexico and 
Arizona. The eggs cannot be distinguished from 
those of the last. 
65 0 . Cape May Warbler. Dendroica tig- 
rina. 
, Range. — Eastern North America, 
breeding from northern New Eng- 
land and Manitoba northward; win- 
ters south of the United States. 
This beautiful Warbler is yellow 
below and on the rump, streaked on 
the breast and sides with black; 
the ear coverts and sometimes the throat are 
chestnut. They are very local in their distribu- 
tion both during migrations and in their breed- 
ing grounds. They nest in the outer branches of 
trees, preferably conifers, making the nest of 
slender twigs, rootlets, grasses, etc., lined with 
hair; the four or five eggs are white, variously 
specked with reddish brown and lilac; size .65 
x .48.

6’51. Olive Warbler. Peucedramus olivaceus. 
Range.— Mountains of New Mexico and Arizona southward. 
This peculiar species may readily be recognized by its saffron or orange- 
brown colored head and neck, with broad black bar through the eye. They 
nest at high elevations in coniferous trees on the mountain sides, placing their 
nests either on the horizontal boughs or forks at the end of them. 
The nests are very beautiful structures made of moss, lichens, 
fine rootlets and grasses and setting high on the limb like those 
of the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. The eggs are grayish white with 
a bluish tinge, thickly speckled with blackish; size .64 x .48.
