YELLOW WARBLER. 



No. 1. 



= 184 



I tlo not think there is any reason to mistake that song; 

 it is ;i logical bit of even time-keeping in rapid move- 

 ment. The second common type I think must be the 

 <.IH which various writers say resembles the Chestnut- 

 Mi U-d'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 ? 



Presto. 



and this one which likewise ends as it begins. 



and yet again this one which drops to a tone lower than 

 the one on which it begins:
