PERCHING BIRDS 
671. Pine Warbler. Dendroica via or si. 
Range.— Eastern United States, breeding from 
the Gulf to southern British Provinces; winters 
in the Gulf States and southward. 
This common eastern specie's 
is greenish above and dull yel- 
lowish below, streaked with 
dusky on the sides. They are 
almost exclusively found in pine 
woods, either light or heavy 
growth, where they can always 
be located by their peculiar, mu- 
sical lisping trill. They nest high in these trees, 
placing their nests in thick bunches of needles, 
so that they are very difficult to locate. They 
nest from March in the south to May in the north- 
ern states, laying three or four dull whitish eggs, 
specked or blotched with shades of brown and 
lilac; size .68 x .52. Data. — Worcester, Mass., 
May 28, 1891. Nest 30 feet up in a pine; made of 
pine needles and rootlets. 
672. Palm Warbler. Dendroica palmarum 
palmarum. 
Range. — Interior of North America, breeding 
about Hudson Bay and northward and wintering 
in the lower Mississippi Valley and the West 
Indies. 
This species is brownish yellow 
above and yellow on the throat and 
breast, the crown and streaks on 
the sides are chestnut. They are 
found during migrations on or near 
the ground on the edges of woods 
Creamy white or thickets and along roadsides; 
have a peculiar habit of “teetering” their tail 
which will readily identify them. They nest on the ground in, or on the edges 
of swampy places, lining the hollow with grasses and rootlets. In May or June 
they lay three or four eggs which are creamy white, variously specked with 
brown and lilac; size .68 x 52. 
Pine Warblers 
Palm Warblers 
672a Yellow Palm Warbler. Dendroica palmarum liypochrysea. 
Range. — Eastern North America, breeding from Nova Scotia, northward. 
This is the common Yellow Red-poll Warbler of the eastern states, and is 
very abundant during migrations. Their habits are the same, if not identical 
with the interior species. Their nests are also like those of the last, placed 
on the ground and the eggs are indistinguishable.
