Dendroica tigrina. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1897. June 11. Its song. The Cape May Warbler was heard singing about 50 yards from the shore in rather open woods of large spruces, balsams, hemlock, and yellow birches. The song of this Warbler is harder - or at least sharper and more penetrating - than that of either the Bay-breast or Blackburnian. In these respects it resembles the song of Protonotaria but the tone or quality is more wiry and, indeed, very close to that of Mniotilta. The bird is perhaps the least regular and persistent singer of the genus. One can never be sure of finding him in song, even in the early morning, and his singing periods are ordinarily brief with long intervals of dead silence. The number of notes varies from three to seven. One of the birds established in the Staples farm woods just north of Great Island (I heard both of these birds singing on the morning of June 12th) usually gives only three notes but sometimes raises the number to five. The other bird ordinarily gives five and sometimes six. The bird near the Brown farm east of Lakeside habitually has seven. This was on Great Island.
