661. (American Ornithologists' Union check-list #) Black-poll Warbler: Dendroica striata (Forst.) Adult male--Upper parts gray, streaked with black; nape and cheeks white; crown black; under parts white, shading into gray on the flanks; throat and sides of breast and belly streaked with black. Adult female--Upper parts dusky olive green, streaked with black; under parts more or less tinged with yellowish, with dusky streaks. Length--5.56. Breeding Range--From northern New England and the Catskills northward. (A. O. U. check-list.) The nest, which is placed in coniferous trees (usually spruce), at a height of about six or eight feet from the ground, is composed of fine twigs, roots, weeds, lichen, and moss, lined with grass and feathers. 4 or 5 eggs are laid; they are white or creamy white, spotted and blotched chiefly at the larger end with various shades of reddish brown and lilac. Size--.72 x .52. It is principally in the regions far north of the United States that these hardy little birds have their summer homes, and there in the forests of fir and spruce they hide their nests. In the more northern parts of New England a few belated pairs remain during the summer, building their nests towards the latter part of June.
