16. Yellow Warbler. Dendroica cestiva cestiva (Gmel.) 
J 
The Yellow Warbler did not seem to be common at the Inn 
locality, as I observed it only once during the season there, near 
the entrance on the eastern side. This warbler may be recognized 
by its entire yellow color, with the breast and sides streaked with 
reddish brown. 
17. Golden-winged Warbler. Vermivora chrysoptera (Linn.) 
The Golden-winged Warbler is one of the common birds of the 
Bear Mountain locality. Its markings contain a variety of colors, 
but it carries three distinguishing features, — the yellow crown, 
black throat, and yellow wing patch, an unmistakable combina- 
tion. The song of this warbler is also unmistakable when once 
known, consisting of the following arrangement : “ Zee, dee dee 
dee,” with the first note drawled and lengthened; sometimes the 
opening note is followed by only two notes as “ zee, dee dee.” The 
activities of the Golden-winged Warbler were most noticeable along 
the base of the mountain near the upper road leading from the 
office building into the interior of the Park (Fig. 6). 
18. Blue-winged Warbler. Vermivora pinus (Linn.) 
The Blue-winged Warbler somewhat resembles the Golden- 
winged Warbler in appearance, but it lacks the black throat in the 
trio of marks which distinguish the latter warbler. Its resorts are 
somewhat different also, for it seems to prefer more open bushy 
spots or the edges of woods bordering bushy clearings. The song 
of the Blue-winged Warbler is also very characteristic, being rather 
the reverse of the Golden-wing’s production. I annotated the song 
as consisting of the syllables “ zeee, deee,” the first drawled out 
and the latter burred or trilled. The song is weaker than that of 
the Golden-winged Warbler, being almost grasshopper-like, sug- 
gesting the weak expressions of one of the small sparrows. At 
Bear Mountain the Blue-winged Warbler was most frequently noted 
near the eastern entrance to the grounds, in the borders of the 
depression between the lawn and the river.
