One of the two main utterances is remarkable for its deliberate and highly modulated enunciation; the other, not. The deliberate song of 5 (sometimes 6 or 8) notes is the one usually described in books, but here about Monadnock the other is at least as often uttered and in midsummer is the com- monest of the two. The differ- ences between them are suggested, though feebly, by the two phrases 'sweer, sweer-r-r, swi-ni swee' (the first and the last accented notes the highest pitched), and 'wi-wi- wi-wi-wi-wi-wi, wer-we-e-e,'the last note highest pitched as well as most emphatic. Two, at least, of this warbler's call notes are fairly characteristic, a plainly den- droicine but rather loud and full- toned ' tsip' and a reduplicated smaller ' chip ' often running into chippering like that of many young but few other adult ; The nest is usually placed in a hemlock tree. Burtch and Stone note 25 nests all placed in hemlocks with one or two exceptions and they were placed near the branches of a hemlock. They are usually from 15 to 40 feet from the ground, near the thicker portion of the limb some distance from the trunk. The nest is rather compactly built and deeply cupped, made of fine twiglets of hemlock lined with tendrils, rootlets and hair, sometimes a few feathers and dead grasses and fine strips of inner Photo by Verdi Burtch Black-throated Green warbler's nest and eggs.
