BIRDS OF THE VICINITY OF NEW YORK CITY 183 Grinnell's Water-thrush (Sciiinis iioz'choracciisis notabilis). Western North America; eastward during the migrations to Virginia and South Atlantic States. This western species has been recorded only from Raritan, N. J., May :«o, 1889 (Southwick. Auk, IX, 1892, p. 303), and Princeton, N. J. Sept. 10, 1879 (Babson). Louisiana Water-thrush (Sciunis motacilla). It is a common summer resident in the lower Hudson Valley, where it has been found as far north as Lake George (Fisher), and is not uncommon in the lower Connecticut Valley. There are two records for Massachusetts and two for Rhode Island. On Long Island it is very rare (Butcher). (See group, third floor). ♦Kentucky \Varbler (Opornis formosa). This is a common summer resident on the banks of the Lower Hudson River and has been recorded from Fort Lee and Riverdale (Bick- nell), Englewood (Chapman), and Sing Sing (Fisher), beyond which point it is as yet un- known. In Connecticut there are but three records, viz: at Suffield where a male was taken August 16, 1876 (Merriam), at Green- Fjg. :ii. Kentucky VVarblek. wich, wliere a pair and a fledgeling were seen and the male taken July 10, 1892 (Vorhees, Auk, X, 1893, p. 86) and at West Stratford, where a male was shot May, 30, 1888 (Lucas, Orn. and OoL, XIV, 1889, p. 62). On Long Island it is very rare, there being but one recent record if its occurrence (Dutcher). It is wholly absent in the vicinity of Plainfield, N. J., (Miller) and at Princeton (Babson). Connecticut Warbler (Oporoniis cigilis). This species is an exceedingly rare spring migrant east of the Alleghanies, and I know of no record of its occurrence here at that season ; in the fall, however, it is not uncommon, and sometimes is abundant, arriving as early as September 3 and remaining until the latter part of the month. ♦Mourning Warbler (Oporornis Philadelphia). This species is one of our riire Warblers; it passes northward during the latter half of May. ♦Northern Yellowthroat (Gcothlypis trichas brachidactyla). One of our most abundant summer residents. It arrives about May 5 and remains until October. (See group, third floor.) Yellow-breasted Chat (Ictcria vircns). A common summer resident, arriv- ing about May 5 and remaining until September. ♦Hooded Warbler (U'ilsonia mitrata). The Hooded Warbler is here near the northern limit of its range. At Englewood, N. J., it is an abundant summer resident, arriving about May 5 and remaining until the middle of September. At Riverdale. N. J., it is locally common (Bicknell), at Sing Sing it is not common (Fisher), but at Highland Falls it is "very common" (Mearns). It has been taken at Fishkill, the most northern point in the
