A Third Record for the Prairie Warbler in Canada

The Cape May Warbler in Litchfield County, Conn.--As the Cape May Warbler (Dendroica tigrina) is so rarely reported from this State, it may be of interest to record my capture of a male of this species on May 8, 1905, near the village of Litchfield, Conn.It was with a large flock of Black-throated Green Warblers in a row of Norway spruces bordering the cemetery of the village.--E.SE¾•UOt:R WOODRt:FF, New Haven, Conn.A Third Record for the Prairie •Varbler in Canada.--OnSeptember 5, 1905, while collecting on the east shore of Point Pelee, Essex County, Ontario, I took a young male Prairie Warbler (Dendroica discolor).It is now No. 314 in my collection.This is the third record for Canada, the other two being taken at Toronto, Ont., in 1900.--N.B. KL•5•n, Macdonald Institute, Guelph, Ont.The Carolina Wren a Summer Resident of Ontario.--OnSeptember 5, 1905, while collecting in a thicket on the east shore about two miles from the end of Point Pelee, Essex County, Ont., I secured a young male Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus).This skin is now No. 315 in my collection, and is the second record for Canada.The first Canadian specimen was taken in February, 1891, at Forest, Ont., by Mr. Montague Smith, and is recorded by mistake as being taken at Mount Forest, Ont., in McIlwraith's 'Birds of Ontario,' p. 392.At the time I collected the specimen above recorded I saw another Carolina Wren.Both were singing and creeping about very rapidly among the underbrush.On September 6, Mr. P. A. Taverner and I visited the thicket above referred to.Mr. Taverner took a young male which is now No. 299 in his collection, and I secured two fledglings, both males, which are now No. 300 in Mr. Taverner's collection and No. 316 in my collection.Besides those taken we saw another, either an adult or a bird in the first winter plmnage.The two birds first taken were evidently members of an earlier brood, and the two last members of a later brood.The presence of these fledglings constitutes the first breeding record for Canada.--N.B. KLUC•n, Macdonald Institute, Guelph, Ont.First Capture of Townsend's Solitaire (Myadestes townsendi) on Long Island, New York.--Amale of this species was captured at Kings Park, November 25, 1905, by Mr. J. A. IVeber who kindly put the bird into my hands for identification.It appears to have wandered far from •ts habitat, the Rocky Mountains, although there is the possibility of its being an escaped cage-bird.While the freshness of plumage and nonhal length of claws do not preclude this possibility, the species is not, I am told, one that is caged for sale, and the specimen in question seems to have as good a claim to be recorded as have other unexpected waifs in other Vol.XXIII]
