Abstract
On 22 June 1971 at 11:30, my wife and I found a dead, adult, female (ova, 1 mm and below) Blackthroated Blue Warbler (Dendroica caerulescens) at our home in Panther Junction (elevation, 3850 ft), Big Bend National Park, Brewster County, Texas. The bird was still fresh and apparently was a windowkill as both of its mandibles were broken, and it was discovered beneath a picture window. Factors influencing the presence of this species in late June in the Chihuahuan desert in Big Bend are unknown. Probably the bird was a late, stray migrant, as it was very fat (9.6 g) and appeared to be in good health. The previous night had been very stormy. This is the first specimen for West Texas. It was preserved as a study skin (DAE 2571) and is deposited at Big Bend National Park Museum.
