Bird Observations 



May 29, 1903. Saw him and heard the 

 song constantly, quality as described, but 

 form different, more monotonous, less of it 

 and not three times repeated, just four or 

 five liquid notes, not to be described in 

 syllables. 



May 25, igo8. One sang for nearly an 

 hour, and when I came back two hours 

 later he was still singing in the same spot. 

 The song was loud, and uttered with al- 

 most no variation the entire time I listened 

 to it. It was a rapid, rolling whistle, "hall- 

 or-ee," three or four times repeated, the 

 liquid, rolling sound being very pro- 

 nounced, a noticeable and attractive song. 

 Saw the bird well and watched him sing. 

 He is a shy bird, though, and keeps well 

 out of sight. I must have followed him 

 three-quarters of an hour before I caught 

 a glimpse of him. 



May 27, 1908. Had good view of fe- 

 male hard to tell from male Connecticut 

 but the eye ring was not conspicuous 

 nor consecutive. Throat was whitish in 

 middle otherwise breast was a pure French 

 grey color. Under parts quite yellow, a 

 lovely bird. 



June 6, 1909. Have seen and heard 

 the mourning warbler several times since
