"HEMLOCK WARBLER" would be a more appropriate name for this species for even during migration they prefer these conifers. They are among the most widely distributed and tamest of the family and amateur bird students' notebooks have many records of these yellowcheek beauties. In company with the Black and White they are the first Warblers, excepting the Yellow Palm, to appear in the northern part of their range, and their plaintive slow notes are sure to be heard in any extensive hemlock woods in early May.
NEST: Almost invariably built of old hemlock twigs lined with hair, fine grass and strips of bark, located on horizontal hemlock limbs, from fifteen to fifty feet above ground.
EGGS: Four, white to creamy, thickly marked with spots of brown and lavender in a wreath around large end.
