. A popular handbook of the ornithology of eastern North America . n added, and the young brood, I believe, reared withoutany accident. The nest was scarcely distinguishable from that of the Sum-mer Yellow Bird, and quite different from the nests describedby Wilson and Audubon. My opportunity for examination, so long continued, seemed to preclude the possibility of errorin the investigation; neither can I compare the slender noteof this species to any whirriiu::; sound, which would morenearly approach to the song of the Pine arbler. The PrairieWarbler visits Cambridge about the first or second week inMay, and according to the observations of my friend Mr.Cooper, is seen probably about the same time in the vicinityof New York in small numbers and in pairs, and retires towinter in the West Indies about the middle of September. This species is now considered common in Massachusetts, though it has not been taken farther northward. It occurs inMichigan, but not in Ontario, and breeds southward to Florida.It winters in southern Florida and the West Indies.. PARULA WARBLER. BLUE YELLOW-BACKED WARBLER.COMPSOTHLYPIS AMERICANA.
