Geothlypis philadelphia.

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.
