The quiet little _zee-zee, zee-ee-zee_ of the Black-throated Green
announces the arrival of the vanguard of true Wood Warblers, which for
the succeeding two weeks will pass in countless numbers through our
woodlands, still almost leafless. At this time we may find him wherever
trees grow, but his real summer home is coniferous forests, especially
of hemlocks, in which he often builds his nests 15-20 feet above the
ground. The eggs, laid in late May or early June, are white spotted and
speckled with brown.

A southern form of this Warbler (_D. v. waynei_) has been described from
the vicinity of Charleston, S.C.

Kirtland's Warbler has one of the smallest nesting areas of any North
American bird and consequently is one of our rarest species. In the
summer it lives among the jack-pines of north central Michigan, nesting
on the ground beneath them. When migrating, it may be found usually near
the ground, where it may be identified by its habit of tail-wagging. Its
song is described by Wood in "Warblers of North America" as belonging to
the whistling type with the clear, ringing quality of the Oriole's. The
3-5 eggs, laid early in June, are white speckled with brown in a wreath
at the larger end.
