310 Prnpar, Birds of Fulton County, Kentucky. [October 
The following were characteristic of certain birds only and 
noted to be the same on several different occasions. One bird 
regularly repeated the trill of the Chipping Sparrow after its own, 
with no variations unless slightly shortened. Zwo others were 
often heard to repeat a song reminding me strongly of one ‘of the 
Parula Warbler’s, but they repeated their own much more fre- 
quently than this. 
During the height of the season HW. pinus may be heard repeat- 
ing its song with great regularity from four to five times per min- 
ute, by the hour, with scarcely a break. This is to be noticed 
during the extreme heat of midday just the same as at other times, 
its search for insects being at the same time uninterrupted. I 
have quite often heard them during hard showers, not an occa- 
sional repetition merely, but with a persistent regularity. This 
applies to /7. leucobronchialis, and presumably to HZ. chrysoptera 
as well, except that in the two latter only two or three repetitions 
per minute is the rule. Nearly two entire songs of the latter 
can be rendered in the time occupied by A/. pzmus for one. In 
many of these birds there is a tendency to extreme shyness upon the 
slightest attempt at familiarity, and often without any provo. 
cation, as I have many times been made aware. On many occa- 
sions my best endeavors have been unequal to the task of closely 
scrutinizing the author of any of these songs unless I had the 
patience to watch him from one to three hours, and even then a 
field glass would be necessary to see him clearly. 
Even 7. pzxus may be called rare by those who possess excel- 
lent eyesight, provided they have ears poorly trained, and I will 
venture the assertion that nine out of every ten birds will escape 
them. I have more than once seen proof of this in those who 
were desirous of becoming well acquainted with the species.
