Of seven specimens only two are light enough below to suggest S. n. 
notabilis. The remainder are very richly coloured birds that must be 
referred to S. n. noveboracensis. In series, a large proportion of which are 
migrants, the writer cannot find any distinct distribution for these forms. 
Perhaps a breeding series would show a northern and southern range 
instead of an eastern and western. 
Oporornis agilis Connecticut Warbler 
One of the common breeding warblers. It did not arrive until June 5, 
but immediately became common and its song could be heard on almost 
any open poplar ridge. Contrary to the published account of the only 
nest found previous to those in this locality, it nests on small, dry, well- 
drained ridges instead of in the muskeg bog. Its nest is most difficult 
to find as the male sings at a considerable distance from it and the female 
sits very close. Several nests were discovered through the summer and 
young in all stages of plumage were taken. Last noted September 27. 
Oporornis Philadelphia Mourning Warbler 
About as common as the preceding, nests. Last observed September 6- 
Though w r e looked carefully for McGillivray’s Warbler, none was recog- 
nized. 
Ceothlypis trichas Maryland Yellow-throat 
Common breeder. Last seen September 22. 
Wilsonia pusilla Wilson’s Warbler 
Single individuals May 28 and June 14. Occasional through August 
to September 13. Eight specimens all very rich yellow below and with 
wings averaging long — undoubtedly W. p. pileolata. 
Wilsonia canadensis Canada Warbler 
Taken May 31, June 19 and 28, and July 6. Noted in small numbers 
to August 20. 
Setophaga ruticilla Redstart 
Common all summer. Last seen September 23. 
Anthus rubescens American Pipit 
First seen August 25. Very common through September. Only a 
few seen in October and last date the 15th. 
Anthus spraguei Sprague’s Pipit 
Scarce and only seen in the more open country to the east of the lake. 
Said by Henderson to breed. Noted twice in August by Laing and Harrold, 
specimens the 13th. 
Dumetella carolinensis Catbird 
Rather scarce. A few pairs at wide intervals. 
Troglodytes aedon House Wren 
Very common about the edges of the woods, but not coming about 
the houses. Noted until September 23. Without special critical examina- 
tion the writer refers them to T. a. parkmani.
