Helminthophila celata. 15 Hel. celata Sept. 26 1890. Lake Umbagog, Maine, 1890. Lake Umbagog, Maine. Helminthophila celata 1895. August 30 © Aug. 30, first before sunset I found two warblers feeding in a thicket of briars & bushes by the roadside at the head of Sargent's Cove. I called them out & feeding I identified one of them beyond a doubt but I don't know if under my glass in a good light & in them 20 ft. off for several minutes at a time. the other was more suspicious & did not allow itself close of the foliage but H. celata, both outward that it also was a H. celata. Both behaved exactly alike & kept close together beneath the thinnest they were very active under this thin & tickled their wings nervously and restless & twitched their tails together. They also waggled their tails slightly while and moved themselves. They kept thin out attracted by my keeping them light among the downy foliage flickering & dropping about the ground that I saw best looked like a crow, the bird had a little flash yellow on the of wing only a little flash yellow on the middle of the breast the throat & sides being merely plain ash-y. 14
