The First Hooded Warbler Taken in Maine. — On tire 9U1 of Septem- 
ber, 1904, Mr. Samuel T. Dana, of Portland, informed me that he had seen 
a Hooded Warbler ( Wihonia mitrata) at Falmouth. As this bird had 
never, to my knowledge, been recorded in Maine, I asked him to secure 
a specimen, which he did on the 10th of September, 1904. The bird was 
brought to a Portland taxidermist the same day and mounted. It is now 
in the possession of Mr. Dana. It is a male bird, an adult, and is in per- 
fect plumage. It was taken in the trees near a dwelling, and had been 
there several days, in company with other warblers. The capture of this 
warbler and the establishing of a new record has attracted considerable 
comment among local ornithologists. — W. H. Brownson, Portland ,
