rapt wonder at the beautiful tree with its fresh waxy green leaves and its 
even fresher delicately beautiful flowers, I was startled and delighted by 
the arrival in the tree of what seemed to me the most beautiful bird I had 
ever seen. Its rich colors as it moved about among the blossom-laden 
branches charmed me. Of course, I did not then know what it was; I 
knew only that it was a bird, and the prettiest I had ever seen. But the 
vision has remained most distinct in my memory to this day, although it 
was many years afterward before I became especially interested in birds: 
and then, one day, while collecting, I secured an adult Blackburnian warb- 
ler in full plumage. Then the vision came back to me and I realized that 
this was the same bird that had so charmed me on that sweet morning 
in early May long ago. 
In Carroll County, I collected one near Burlington, May 24, 1883, an- 
other near Pittsburg. April 28, 1885, and saw another May S. 
In Vigo County, I have noted it May 5, 1888, also May 8. May 17, 1890, 
collected two males at the Goose Pond. 
In Monroe County. a few might be seen each spring, especially in the 
orchards and open thickets. One collected April 27, 1886.
