Bird Observations 



saw many individuals of most of the above 

 kinds. 



May 27, 1907. Two Cape Mays, sev- 

 eral redstarts, a Wilson, a chestnut-sided, 

 a Canadian, and of course some yellow 

 warblers all in our yard this morning; also 

 at Mr. Day's and here, the magnolia, 

 black-throated blue and Blackburnian. 



May 28, 1907. This remarkable spring 

 the warblers are still lingering and still 

 mostly flying very low. Observed today 

 the black throated green and blue, Cape 

 May, Wilson's, magnolia, yellow, redstart, 

 Canadian, Maryland yellow-throat, pa- 

 rula, a mourning (probably). 



1908. A few myrtles and palms came 

 in an early migration wave about the mid- 

 dle of April as reported by Mrs. Moss 

 and others. (I was ill in bed.) This was 

 followed by a remarkable spell of con- 

 tinued cold and northeast winds, from 

 about April 23 to May 9, when very warm 

 weather set in. This cold weather ended 

 with several days of fierce northeast 

 storm. No warblers were reported as far 

 as I know in this period of over two 

 weeks. I only saw one, (which I could 

 not identify) and a water thrush, which I 

 heard.
