Geothlypis philadelphia. 1907 July 23 2nd seen by J. Bernard Walter near Lumber Camp, Essex road, Essex. 1908 Geothlypis philadelphia. L. Umbagog August 10 From the edge of a rather little vegetable garden at the rear of Dr. Draper's camp on Shelton's Point, Pine Point, I started an adult ♀ Morning Warbler in a matted bed of wild raspberry bushes thus half concealed some old logs and fallen tops. The bird rose almost under foot and after taking a short, jerky flight like that of a Maryland Yellow-throat then dropped into the tangle again. When I began searching the ramifications in the top of a bush, peeping out at me stray from among the leaves and uttering every now and then a monosyllabic click which reminded me by turns of the Maryland Yellow-throat and that of the Connecticut Warbler. Perhaps this whole it is nearer that of the latter species for it has much the same metallic, insistent quality. This is the first time I have seen done the Morning Warbler at Pine Point. copy 4
