DENDROICA PETECHIA AMNICOLA Batchelder
NEWFOUNDLAND YELLOW WARBLER
HABITS
Based on a series of 14 adult males and 3 adult females from
Newfoundland, Charles F. Batchelder (1918) gave the above name to the
yellow warblers that breed in that region. After giving a detailed
description of the type from Curslet, Newfoundland, he remarks: "When
seen in series, the yellow of the under parts is duller, less richly
golden, and the chestnut streaks are darker. In comparison with
_aestiva_, the female is duskier, less yellowish, throughout the upper
parts. * * *
