Helminthouhila celata . 
Lake Urabagog, Maine 
On m 
1895. 
ay return as I reached the road I saw a small bird 
Aug. 50. fly into a thicket of viburnum onulus . I made a low screeping 
when the bird at once showed itself, at first peeping out shy¬ 
ly from the foliage but finally hopping out on a nearly leaf¬ 
less branch where it permitted me to look at it for a minute 
or more through my glass from a distance of only six or eight 
paces. It was an Orange-crowned Warbler in full autumn plum-- 
age, apparently a female for it had but little yellow on the 
under parts and that confined to the breast. There was anoth« 
er small Warbler in the same bush which I am practically cer« 
tain was also H,. celata but which I cannot claim to have iden*-< 
t^fied with absolute certainty. Both birds behaved precisely 
alike hopping and flitting from twig to twig in the most ac¬ 
tive manner. Both flirted their wings nervously like Kinglets 
and wagged their tadls slightly but unmistakeably much in the 
manner of the ilashville Warbler. The one which I did not 
fully identify would not show itself fairly but I saw enough 
of it to feel really sure that it was the same as the other. 
Both birds were wholly silent
