La Prade, on Warblers Around Atlanta, Ga.

and eggs in situ, [ collected the nest and three eggs. It was 
three feet from the ground, in vines slung under a small elm, 
and rather roughly built of dead leaves, rootlets, and pine 
needles. This was in thick, damp woods, near a stream bordered 
by extensive thickets, in a locality like those described by Mr. 
Brewster and Mr. Wayne, except for the absence of canes. 
Helmitheros verm looms: Worm-eating Warbler. No nest 
has been found here, but a few undoubtedly breed. One pair 
was observed through the breeding season of 1916, and one 
female in slightly worn plumage was shot June 1, 1916, and is 
now in Emory University. Twice 1 have searched in vain while 
excited females indicated well-hidden treasures. Chapman notes 
exceptional breeding in North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, 
and Louisiana, but 1 suspect that they may be found in small 
numbers throughout the hill country in this belt of states. 
Ycrmivama pinus: Blue-winged Warbler. While collecting 
some late migrants on May 3, 1916, I shot a female Blue-wing, 
and on dissection was surprised to find an egg nearly ready to 
lay. Later in the season Mr. D. C. Peacock saw a family of 
young Blue-wings in care of the mother. Chapman gives north- 
ern Kentucky, Maryland, and Pennsylvania as the southern 
breeding limit. 
Dendroica (estiva cestma: Yellow Warbler. Having so easily 
located nests of this warbler in Missouri, it is hard to under- 
stand why I have not found them here. Abundant in migration, 
only a few found in the breeding season, around willow trees in 
pastures or along streams. Repeated search in trees and bushes 
has been in vain. More should breed here, where there are no 
Cowbirds to disturb. 
Dendroica cerulea: Cerulean Warbler. I know of only one 
piece of woods where it breeds, but several pairs certainly nest 
there every season. High up in the sycamores and poplars the 
distinctive song of the Cerulean may be heard through May and 
June, but one needs a real rubber neck to keep an eye on these 
tin}- singers, which look no bigger than bumble-bees in the tree 
tops. After the leaves fell one winter 1 located a nest, presum- 
ably of this species, saddled on a limb of a giant sycamore which 
I searched in vain the preceding May. 
Dendroica dominica dominica: Yellow-throated Warbler. This 
is another species that has baffled local oologists. Living in the 
highest pines, where they may be found from the middle of March 
until October, the nests are doubtless indistinguishable from
