pine grove, going knee deep in the snow at every step, and I got a 

 second glimpse and distinctly saw the brown head of my strange 

 bird, but lost it again, the whole flock disappearing. On my way 

 homeward I came across the flock again and immediately saw the 

 Hudsonian within a few feet of me ; I kept my glasses on it as long 

 as I wanted, and leisurely watched it fly from tree to tree, feeding 

 as it went. Mr. W. H. Brownson was with me on this morning and 

 I much regret that we were separated at each time I saw this bird. 

 That afternoon I invited Mr. Arthur H. Norton to accompany me 

 for the purpose of again locating the bird (and, if possible, to secure 

 the specimen) , but failed to find it. Louis E. L,egge.

The Tennessee Warbler. — Looking over a copy of your 

 paper for the first time, and noting more or less items of the 

 Warblers in Maine, I thought perhaps a few lines relative to a 

 Tennessee Warbler might be acceptable. We spend as much of each 

 summer in Maine as is possible, and in June last, while at Machias- 

 port, were driving along a road bordering close to a salt water 

 marsh at the upper end of Machias Bay. A strange song, very 

 clear and very sweet, at once attracted my attention, and a short 

 search from the roadside revealed the little singer, a Tennessee 

 Warbler, sitting in a small hackmatack tree, about eight feet from 

 the ground, and at frequent intervals lifting up his head and swell- 

 ing out his throat in song. He was very tame and allowed of quite 

 close approach, as he fed and sang alternately. In his movement 

 he was very leisurely and allowed me to watch him carefully for ten 

 or fifteen minutes. It was very thick shrubbery, intermixed with 

 hackmatacks and firs, and he at last flew up a short distance away 

 to continue his singing, as we left him. Never having the good 

 fortune to see this little Warbler in Maine before, I thought ntyself 

 very fortunate in the opportunity, as I believe he is considered very 

 rare. Frank A. Brown.
