THE WILSON BULLETIN— June, 1922 
bnnclies of pine straw and cones, and binoculars focussed for 
a long time on building birds is probably the only way to locate 
a nest. 
Dendroica vigor si: Pine Warbler. This bird is much more 
abundant in winter than in summer, and local breeders are nest- 
ing before many that summer farther north leave ns. While 
some Pine W arblers nest in high pines like the preceding species, 
other pairs are more lowly minded, one nest with young being 
only 15 feet up. The three local sets of which I have record 
were completed between March 15 and March 27, each nest hav- 
ing feathers in the lining. 
Dendroica discolor: Prairie Warbler. Another early arri- 
val. Sometimes seen during the last week in March. It fre- 
quents bushy fields, and the nest is from two to six feet from 
the ground. Full sets, usually four, with one set each of three 
and five, are complete between May 5 and May 10. 
^eiurus aiirocapillus: Oven-bird. One or more pairs have 
spent the summer five miles east of the city for several years, 
but no nest has been found. Mr. D. V. Hembree has taken sev- 
eral sets 20 miles north. Chapman states that they breed south- 
ward in the Allegheny monntains to South Carolina, but this 
range should be extended to include the section of Georgia 
north of Atlanta, as they unquestionably breed regularly in 
many places in this area. 
Seiuriis motacilla: Louisiana Water-Thrush. A regular 
breeder, arriving the latter part of March and nesting early 
enough in April to have young on the wing by the middle of 
May. Almost every small stream, Avitli banks high enough to 
afford nesting places, has one or more pairs, but the nests are 
so hard to locate that I have succeeded in finding only two, one 
with young, and one with four eggs. 
Oporornis formosus: Kentucky Warbler. Chapman notes 
the breeding of this species at Caesar’s Head, S. C., as if it Avere 
exceptional so far south, but this is the most abundant breeding 
warbler around Atlanta, except the Hooded and the Chat, 
though nests are nincli harder to find than those of bush build- 
ing species. I knoAv of one large tract of woods in Avhich I be- 
lieve tliat 20 nesting pairs is a conservative estimate. Nests I 
have sncceeded in finding were in rather open Avoods, and Avere 
located by finshing the brooding female. May 15 to May 25 is 
the time to expect fresh sets, and tAvice I have found sets of five. 
Geothlijpis tricJias triclias: Maryland YelloAV-throat. This
