YELLOW WARBLER.

Presto. 3 times 8va. 
I do not think there is any reason to mistake that song; 
it is a logical bit of even time-keeping in rapid move- 
ment. The second common type I think must be the 
one which various writers say resembles the Chestnut- 
sided’s song (that is not my opinion, however); it can be 
demonstrated this way: 
There are three downward chirps of an interval approxi- 
mating a fifth, then the single higher note (the half of 
the chirp) followed by two notes just a third lower, then 
a last highest, thus: 
No. 2. 
Presto 
Some evidently think that all the Yellow Warbler’s 
songs end on a high note, but this is not so; my records 
prove something quite the contrary. What about such 
a form as this which ends about as it begins?

and yet again this one which drops to a tone lower than 
the one on which it begins:
