a Beautifull Male that Measured 5J Inches in Length 

 & 8J in extent answering Willson Description, on 

 Dissection the Bird Was very fat as all the Warblers 

 We Shot Now Are, and had its Gizard filled with 

 shells of Minute Insects — so found of the Cypress trees 

 is this beautifull spirited litle bird that I Was Tempted 

 to Call it the Cypress Swamp Warbler, where it is 

 only to be Met in this part of the Country — 



I Was also fortunate in Shooting a Male of the 

 Green blue Warbler — One Week ago I had shot one but 

 Never could find it, there was at this time five in 

 Company, and Within only a few feet of Me M-" 

 Willson shot a femelle on the Cumberland River, and 

 Never any more; about Two Months since I Discov- 

 ered One in a small swamp Nearer M' Perrie — these 

 birds sing sweetly, and No doubt breed here. Look 

 Much Hke the blue Yellow Back Warblers and hang 

 downwards by the feet like these and the Titmouse. 

 Saw only the One I shot to day and having as much 

 as I Know I could Well draw before they would be 

 Spoiled by the heat of the Wheather returned to the 

 House. 



This Male Measured 5 Inches in Length and and 

 7| in breadth— All the Colors brighter & stronger 

 than Willson's femelle, every Tail feather having 

 White on their inner Vane except the Two Midle 

 Ones — so fat was this bird and of so sohd a Nature 

 was that [grease] [?] fat that it Cut like Mutton fat; its
