ducing the whistle of Bob-white, Flicker calls, Robin squeakings, 
and uttering a variety of peculiar notes. The Yellow-breasted Chat 
was also noted at Summit Lake. 
3. Black-thkoated Green Warbler. Dendroica virens (Gmel.) 
On June 28, 1919, along the trail near Kanahwauke Lake, the 
Black-throated Green Warbler was seen and identified by Mr. E. J. 
Sawyer and myself. A male, a female, and a flying juvenile were 
observed repeatedly at close range. The female flitted about in 
the lower foliage of the trees near at hand, chirping anxiously, 
with food in her mouth, while the male chirped and flitted in the 
tree branches farther away and finally disappeared with the young- 
ster both were attending. The female remained chirping nearby, 
leading us to fancy that a nest was in the vicinity. Later the male 
returned with his charge, affording us opportunity to study the 
little family more in detail. The Black-throated Green Warbler 
can be known by the yellow cheeks and forehead, with heavy black 
on throat, upper breast and sides, the white of the belly making a 
sharp wedge up into the black of the throat. It is safe to say that 
this warbler is a nesting bird of the Ilarriman section of the Park. 
4. Nashville Waeblek. Vermivora rubricapilla rubricapilla 
(Wils.) 
This warbler was first seen on Juty 28, in the Bear Mountain 
region, on the old Queensboro road. A male and female were 
observed, both feeding active young recently from the nest. Both 
birds were examined attentively at close range, and also the chirp- 
ing young. The female discontinued her feeding work temporarily 
and remained near me, uttering a sibilant chirping, while the male 
kept on in attendance of the young, coming near at intervals with 
less anxious chirps as he waited on the impatient young from time 
to time. This warbler can be known by the ashy gray on top of 
head, and the bright yellow under parts; the female resembles the 
female Yellow-throat, but when the males are near by the differ- 
ences in color markings are quite obvious. This record indicates 
that the Nashville Warbler is a summer resident of the Bear 
Mountain region of the Park.
