Of our common species the most beautiful are, perhaps, the blue yellow-back, the blue golden-wing, the Blackburnian, the black-and-yellow, the Canada flycatcher, and the redstart; with the yellow-rump, the black-throated green, the prairie warbler, the summer yellow-bird, and the Maryland yellow-throat coming not far behind.
"Like the Yellow-back she never returned," breathed Reese Beaudin. "Never. And now it is strange " "What is strange, Joe Delesse?" "That for the first time in all these years she is going to Lac Bain to the dog sale." Reese Beaudin's face was again hidden in the smoke of his pipe. Through it his voice came.

I have noted the golden-crowned thrush, the small-billed water-thrush, the black-and-white creeper, the Maryland yellow-throat, the blue yellow-back, the black-throated green, the black-throated blue, the yellow-rump, the summer yellow-bird, the black-poll, the Canada flycatcher, and the redstart.

A Massachusetts bird harrier boasts of his clutch of the egg's of that dainty little warbler, the blue yellow-back. One season he took two sets, the next five sets, the next four sets, besides some single eggs, and the next season four sets, and says he might have found more had he had more time. One season he took, in about twenty days, three from one tree.
"I fear," with a glance at the yellow-back in his hand, "I am interrupting a studious hour, but " "Not in the least, I assure you," said Charles, shutting his novel.
