sat quiet in low tree for ten minutes and then flew to bayberry bush 

 and ate quite a number of the berries. Then he flew to the ever- 

 green woods on the.other side of the road, where it is likely that the 

 rest of the flock were sheltered. 



Dec. 8. — Very mild day. No snow on the ground, except traces 

 on shaded northerly slopes. Two Myrtle Warblers seen flying high 

 and lighting on the top of a tall pine tree, half way from Delano 

 Park to Pond Cove. One Robin near Delano Park. Two Black 

 Guillemots not far from the shore. 



Dec. 28. — Mild day. No snow on the ground, except traces in 

 hollows and depressions. Two Myrtle Warblers seen near Delano 

 Park. Other birds very scarce. 



Feb. 16. — Mild day. No snow on the ground. Five Myrtle 

 Warblers seen at Cape Elizabeth, just south of Delano Park. 

 Warblers were near a great field of bayberries, on which they were 

 feeding. 



During January several trips were made to the Cape, but not a 

 single small bird of any kind was seen. Even Chickadees were 

 absent from the locality. The record of Christmas week and the 

 record of Feb. 16 make it evident that the Myrtle Warblers spent the 

 winter in that locality, since the ones noted on the December visits 

 and the last visit in February were found in exactly the same place, 

 feeding in the same field of bayberries. It is thought that the birds 

 found a favorite resort not far away, beyond a stretch of deep woods, 

 since they were seen more than once flying to and from that general 

 direction.
