The Hooded Warbler is an abundant summer resident in southernIllinois, but occurs casually in northern Illinois and to Mr. F. M. Woodruff a specimen was taken by Mr. B. at River Forest, Illinois, May 11, 1881, and another was killedby a boy with a sling shot in Hyde Park, Chicago, April 28, 1884(Birds of the Chicago Area, 1907, p. 176). Mr. Isaac E. Hess informs me he has found it breeding near Philo,Champaign County, Illinois, and took a set of 5 eggs, May 30, Jan., 1909. Birds of Illinois and Wisconsin — Cory. 67: Mr. W. W. Cooke records specimens taken at Chicago, March 28,1884, and May 3, 1895. Another record for the vicinity of Chicago is that of an adult maletaken by Mr. H. K.

We have also takenspecimens at Milwaukee in the latter part of May. (Birds of Wis-consin, 1903, p. 119.) The nest is in low bushes in swampy woods.
