Birds; Birds. YELLOW WARBLER 123. Fig. 21. Yellow Warbler Nest, a neat gray cup in the fork of a bush or low tree. Eggs, bluish-white or greenish-white, spotted with brown, generally in a wreath around the larger end. The Yellow Warbler is a summer resident of New York and New England, arriving late in April or early in May, and leaving about the middle of August; a few migrants from the north are seen in Septem- ber. It is common in central and southern New England and in the lower Hudson Valley, and frequents orchards and gardens, even in large cities ; in the hilly country of western Massachu- setts and in northern New England it is much less common, and is generally confined to the valleys of the large streams and their tributaries. It is active, and a constant singer, uttering its bright song from the morning of its arrival to that of its departure. The song has two forms: one loud and incisive, like the syllables wee'-chee, chee, cJiee, chee'- wee, the other less sharp and strong. (See under Chestnut- sided Warbler, p. 118.) The alarm-note is a rather loud chip. There is hardly any bird with which the Yellow Warbler can be confused : none of the other warblers is so yellow- ish above, except the Blue-winged Warbler (see Fig. 23, p. 128) ; the Goldfinch has black and white wings and tail, and a black forehead.
