324 Wright, Morning Awakening and Even-Song. [july 



time ranging from 3.56, 4.04 and 4.05 to 4.40 o'clock. On three 

 occasions the records are 4.31 and 4.32 (twice). The average time 

 when the birds were first heard has been ^.fO o'clock. 



42. Northern Parula Warbler (Compsothlypis americana 

 usnece). The time of first singing is based on a single record, when 

 the song was heard at 4.22 o'clock. The birds of the species with 

 this single exception have been out of the range of hearing within 

 the lower woodland. 



43. The Myrtle Warbler {Dendroica coronata) has been 

 within hearing on three occasions and has been first heard at 4.20, 

 4.26 and 4.30 respectively. The average time is 4-25 o'clock. In 

 most seasons the small representation of the species in the im- 

 mediate vicinity is located too far away to be heard from the 

 listener's position. 



44. The Chestnut-sided Warbler {Dendroica pensylvanica) 

 has sung on four occasions. At other times the species has been 

 located too remotely to be heard. The four records furnish an 

 average time of first song as 4-37, the earliest singing heard having 

 been at 4.21 o'clock. 



45. The Downy Woodpecker {Dryobates pubcscens medianus) 

 furnishes seven records, when a bird or two birds have given either 

 the single call-note or the long roll-call. The time has ranged from 

 4.17 to 5.00 and averages to have been at 4-43 o'clock. 



46. The Canada Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus togata) 

 was twice heard drumming in late May, 1902, at 5.10 o'clock on 

 both occasions. 



Other species entered into the records made, but as the birds 

 apparently had not spent the night close by, but came within 

 hearing in an adventitious way, they will simply be named and the 

 time given when they were first heard: Whip-poor-will, 2.45; 

 Nighthawk, 3.15; Ruby-throated Hummingbird, 3.52; Crossbill, 

 3.58; Crested Flycatcher, 4.00; Cliff Swallow, 4.08; Pine Siskin,
