BIRDS OF NEW YORK

following sheet from such a notebook will illustrate the plan advised, but 

 of course in common species, like the Migrant shrike and Bluebird, the 

 notes will be much more extensive and varied. 



CAPE MAY WARBLER DENDROICA TIGRINA 



1902 



Rochester, N. Y., May 7. One reported seen. 



do. May 12. Saw a fine male, the- first I ever studied 



through a glass. He was low down among the bushes and brush in the 

 farther corner of Cobb's hill, restlessly searching for insects. Could make 

 out with perfect distinctness the reddish ear spot and large yellow patch 

 behind it, the black crown, the large white patches in the wings and outer 

 tail feathers, and the yellow under parts streaked with black. 



1903 



Rochester, N. Y., May 10. Found one male in Mt Hope, 

 do. May 12. Male on Cobb's hill. 



1904 



Charlotte, N. Y., May 8. In Greenleaf woods saw the only S noted 

 near Rochester this year. 



1905 



Rochester, N. Y., May 4. <^ reported seen on Cobb's hill. 



do. May 14. Saw J" in company with Bay-breasts in the 



oak tops on the Pinnacle. 



1906 



Springville, N. Y., May 12. Saw a fine c? on the east edge of Clark's 

 woods in companv with a Palm warbler and many others of several different 

 species; they were all feeding restlessly in the maple tops and moving 

 rapidly from tree to tree toward the north along the ridge. A beautiful 

 warm May day, the wind strong, southwesterly. 



Rochester, N. Y., May 13. J* seen in Mt Hope. 



1907 

 Rochester, N. Y., May 14. Saw a J' on Cobb's hill. 



do. May 16. Saw two S' and one 9 o" Cobb's hill, 



do. May 17. ? on Cobb's hill in the tops of the tall 



chestnut trees. Added her to my collection, thereby verifying to a doubting 

 friend the possibility of distinguishing with a glass the 9 Cape May in the 

 tree tops.
