The Blackburnian Warbler Noted at Ft. Brown, Texas, December 21, 1907
A single bird observed for several minutes in the pecan trees that line the drill ground. As it came within a dozen feet of where I was sitting, on several occasions, all doubt as to identity was precluded. Probably a ♂ adult. Heavy fogs, with some rain and considerable wind, characterized the two preceding days, as well as the morning of the day in question. And as a careful search disclosed no other of the species or genus, it can probably be counted only as a tempest-tossed individual adding a very late date to the autumnal migration, within the U. S., of Dendroica blackburnia.
