bler. —Spring and autumn visitant; rather rare. Is to

May. Arrives April 21st. 
33. Dendroeca tigrina. Cape May Warbler. 
—Rare. Observed in the early part of May. I have 
now met with this species on several occasions and have 
known it to come very close to an occupied house. I have 
heard it utter a song resembling weesy-weesy-weesy-'weesy- 
wee , contrary to the observations of Mr. T. G. Gentry 
who writes :* “ Their temporary stay, though brief, is un¬ 
marked by the slightest trace of song ; not even a single 
call-note is uttered.” 
34. Dendroeca discolor. Prairie Warbler.— 
Spring and autumn visitant; rather rare. Arrives in 
spring, April 23d. A few may perhaps remain to breed ; 
I have seen a pair, apparently mates, on the 19th of May.
