La Prade, on Warblers Around Atlanta, Ga.

is another regular breeder that seems to practice more conceal- 
ment than I found to be the case around St. Louis, nesting places 
being confined to marshy places. 
Ictcria virens virens: Yellow-breasted Chat. Very abundant. 
I have found three and four nests in a day, and in much more 
accessible places than those reported by Mr. Wayne and Mr. 
Erichsen in the Auk. Nearly all sets are of four eggs, a few 
having only three. 
W'ilsonia citrina: Hooded Warbler. One of the characteris- 
tic birds of this section, arriving the first week in April, full 
sets being found from May 10 to June 10. Nests are from six 
inches to three feet from the ground, in bushes, canes, or vines. 
Setophaga ruticilla: Redstart. Chapman gives exceptional 
records of southern breeding at Greensboro, Ala., and Jackson, 
Miss. The writer believes that this species nests in many locali- 
ties in the northern half of Georgia. In the past five years live 
nests with eggs or young have been found near the spot where 
the nest of Swainson’s Warbler was discovered, all being in 
birch or elm trees, at a height of from 12 to 35 feet. 
The Parula Warbler has never been found breeding here, 
though it breeds on the Georgia coast and probably in the moun- 
tains. The Prothonotary Warbler breeds near Augusta, but has 
never been seen around Atlanta. Bachman’s Warbler has been 
recorded here once as a migrant, April 18, 1914. The late Mr. 
James Sanford told me of following a singing male for nearly 
three hours, during which time he had many good views of him 
through field glasses, and once was within 15 feet of him. One 
would not expect this species here even as a migrant, but after 
my experience with Swainson’s Warbler I am not disposed to 
say that any warbler breeding in the South and appearing here 
in migration may not also breed. At any rate, no harm is done 
in entertaining the dream that even this rarest of southern 
warblers may some day be added to our breeding list. The 
Golden-winged Warbler was reported by Gearhardt as breed- 
ing in northwest Georgia, as recorded in Baird, Brewer, and 
Ridgeway, but some doubt seems to attach to his records. The 
Black-throated Green, the Blackburnian, and Cairn’s Warblers 
are supposed to breed in the mountains of North Georgia, but 
we can scarcely hope to add them to our Atlanta list.
