drifts away so quietly as to be rarely noted on the fall migrations. 

 In the sprinjz; no bird could be noisier or more conspicuous in its 

 chosen haunts, but by the middle of July it relapses into silence and 

 is seldom noted thereafter. We have consequently never seen the 

 species on any of our fall trips, as it likely departed considerably 

 before our earliest autunui trip. 



1S2. *Wilsonia jitisUhi. — Wilson's Warbler. 



A regular and not uncommon migrant, spring and fall. May 33- 

 14, 1905, none were seen ; in 1906 one was observed May 20 ; and 

 eight May 31, 1907. Sejjtember G, 1905, seven were noted. They 

 increased to common on the 8th, and then diminished to one the 15th 

 the day of our departure. In 1906, one and one was present Sep- 

 tember 1 and 3, and two more the 20th. The species put in an ap- 

 pearance in 1907 August 12, and gradually increased in numbers un- 

 til September 4, when fifteen were listed. They were still present 

 in some numbers when we left the 6th. 



183. *>S'('/o/)/(«r/« ruticiUa. — American Redstart. 



Practically common on all seasonable visits, except that of May 

 3-4, 1908, when most birds were late in arriving, and this was one 

 that had not as yet put in an ap])oarancc. 'I'he only peculiarity in 

 their numbers as noti-d at the Point is the usual great increase the 

 first few days of Septeml)er over later conditions. In 1905 they were 

 mucli more connnon Sei)tember 5 and 6 than they wei'e thereafter. 

 In 1906 they were very aliundant the first three days of the month, 

 but on the return trip, the 15th-21st, we saw none until the 17th, and 

 then they were but fairly connnon, to our departure. In 1907 they 

 were present on our arrival. August 24, increasing gradually to com- 

 mon the 28th, and remained so with small fluctuations until our de- 

 l)arture, September 6.
