-Hi The Wilson Bulletin — No. 51. 



May !>. — The Chestnut-sided Warbler; not shy; not ten 

 feet away from the observer and the open house door. 



May 11. — Canadian Warbler flashed irito sight in the lower 

 boughs of a soft maple, for a few minutes, just long enough 



to make sure of his identity. 



May 13. — The Chimney Swifts are here; and another dif- 

 ferent warbler, Magnolia: Probably not. 



May IS. — Male and female Redstart in the peach tree, "for 

 this day only." 



The Baltimore Oriole heard once or twice; was not seen 

 till June; so that he can hardly be counted. 



The first Towhees came March !» ; Blue Jaws are here all 

 winter; Robins too. but not in large numbers. About March 

 'in, the Golden-crowned Kinglet was seen, and a flock of Lark 

 Sparrows, Downy Woodpecker, and Sapsucker. The Robins 

 are on record in my notes as carrying nest material, March 31. 



Of those in the first list the following had nests in the yard, 

 or the garden beyond it : 



Robin. Bronzed Graekle. 



Blue Jay. Hummingbird. 



Flicker. Rose-breasted Grosbeak (appar- 



Brown Thrasher. ently). 



House Wren. Baltimore Oriole. 



Oven-bird. Chimney Swift. 



Catbird. 



The last in a chimney of the house, where they had nested 

 for more than ten years.

 bers seen at any one time were :
