1931SummerOt thirteen nests reported the first ~ found (by Hr. Swedenborg. It 'Was being built on May 22nd1 was finished 14ay 28th, and the first egg was laid on 11ay.31st. Ralph vfoolsey reported eight nests with from one to five eggs on June 4th~ The last nest reported was by l1arius ll1orse. It had one young cowbird one,cowbird egg, a:1d two w:rbler eggs on July 2nd. t!
1932SummerA nest with 2 eggs on May 21st was the earliest one reported (Morse). The last was found on Muly 7th at Sturgeon Lalte, by the writer. It harbored 3 eggs of the wo.rbler and 2 of the Brown-headed Cowbird. A pair cf Yellow Warblers built a nest right under a House Wren's nest, and wore chased out by the wrens.3 days later (Mrs. Wilson).
1933Summer The usual number of nests of this bird were found, thirty-four having been reported. Two nests, contained 1 egg and 3 eggs respectively, were found on May 22nd by Swanson at Cook Creek. The last nest reported waa found in Pennington County on June 23rd by Grimes. It contained.3 fresh alga. A most unusual nest of this species is reported by Hiemenz. It was found near Pine River, Casa County, and was situated 45 feet £rom tbe growd in a jack pine. It was completed but empty.
1934Summer Of the many reported nests of this common species, the first ones occupied were found May 25th by Hiemcnz and Hanson near St. Cloud. Of the five nests seen by them that day 3 were not quite completed and t,ro held 2 and 4 eggs respectively. Tho latest nest hold 2 Warbler eggs and 3 Brown-headed Cowbird eggs when found by P~sser near Sturgeon Lake on July 5th.
1935Summer The Bird Club found several Yellow Warbler nests May 25th at li'rontenac; most of them were recently fj.nished and empty, but some contained 1 or 2 eggs. On the same day, Breckenridge, who did not go to Frontenac, found birds building. Four eggs at Linwood Lake June 7th and 5 eggs Juno 12th at the same place are reported by Prosser. July 6th Prosser and Swedenborg saw a Yellow VJarbler feeding a young Brown-headed Cowbird at Linwood Lake.
1936Summer E. D. Swedenborg was on his toes to find the Yellow Warbler building on May 16th near ~rineapoiis. The first nests with eggs were found by Don -and Mrs. Mahle,.-A).den Risser,.Arnold Erickson and George RYsgaard on May 24th ai.~ontenac. Two '. >. 41 -The Flicker, 1936 of the three nests held two and four eggs respectively; the contents of the third is unknown. A nest of four eggs was found by G orge Kuntz at Stillwater June 11th. Many members reported nests for this common little warbler. The latest nesting date was July Sth when George Rysgaard located a nest of three eggs at Sturgeon Lake.
1937SummerOn May 23 Rysgaard found a completed but empty nest at Frotnenac. On May 3 I Upson and Struthers found a nest of three eggs. On June 24 Mrs. C. E. Peterson found a nest of one young and three eggs, near Madison, Minn;

1940SummerThis is per­haps the most common of all the nesting warblers in Minnesota. Many nests were reported. Rysgaard, Laakso, Hero, the T. S. Roberts Club and H. Engstrom were the main contributors. The author had an interesting experience with a nest built in a raspberry patch, which was cut down by mistake. By carefully propping up the nest with some of the cut shrubs and replacing the 2 young in the nest the parents were able to feed and care for them 4 days longer-the time neces­sary for the youn~ to leave the nest on their own accord. These birds were banded.
