5. Myiodioctes mitratus. Hooded Warbler. — A male was shot 
at Sufliekl, Conn., by Mr. Shores, July 8, 1875. This bird, though found 
regularly along the Sound shore of Connecticut, has not been noticed so 
far northward before in New England. This, as well a.s a few other spe- 
cies characteristic of the Carolinian Fauna, will probably be found to 
extend up the river-valleys of Connecticut, though not passing farther 
eastward.

I was very much interested in a curious nest 
of the Hooded Warbler, which I secured last 
June. Curious in that it so decidedly differed 
from the ordinary fashion of the series, being 
suspended between the forked branch of a 
small bush after the manner of the Vireos, 
which it so nearly resembled that one could 
scarcely believe that It could belong to any 
other than the Red-eyed Vireo, with perhaps a 
few more leaves among the materials of its 
composition than that species usually affect. 
And yet I found the old Mitratus sitting proudly 
on her four eggs of ordinary pattern, and rock- 
ing in her pendant cradle as gaily as if tier in- 
fancy had been passed in aVireo'.s nest and she 
had never known any other pattern in the fam- 
ily. I carefully preserved the nest with its 
attachments, and it is now in the collection of 
Mr. S. B. Ladd, who values it very highly.

The Hooded Warbler is common in this vicinity wherever the laurel 
grows in abundance, but is less so toward the central part (Seymour, 
etc.). nl: X.Jan, 1893 . p. 90 .
