spicuous at a considerable distance, and were often seen feeding together from 

 the cottage windows. 



Blue Grosbeak. Nested once only on Bird Haven, and not seen there (or 

 elsewhere) since. A family of full-grown young, with their parents, were seen 

 in the dense growth of tall blackberries and horseweeds in the creek bottom, 

 but I have mislaid the memorandum showing date. I think, however, it was 

 some time toward the end of July, 1910. 



Beirs Vireo. Its peculiar song occasionally heard in the thickets along the 

 creek. 



Kirtland's Warbler. A beautiful adult male, positively identified at close 

 quarters, on the morning of May 3, 1908. I was on my way to work, and had 

 just entered the woods when the bird attracted my attention. After making 

 the identification certain, I returned to the cottage for my gun; but in the 

 meantime he departed, and could not be found again.
