Bird Observations 



but could never see the bird. Was it the 

 magnolia? It said "whit-che-tee, wee-up, "

July 25, 1905. Female magnolia with 

 insect in her bill chirped almost as loud 

 and as harshly as a house sparrow, then 

 changed to the usual warbler chirp, then 

 to a faint " 'tsip" like a kinglet. She 

 changed back and forth in these various 

 chirps many times. 



May, 1906. Lake Forest. Yes, I think 

 that S. W. Harbor bird was the magnolia 

 without a doubt. This one said "veni 

 vidi, vici" over and over to me, in the 

 same tone of voice.
