VERY plentiful here during spring mi- 

 gration, apparently not so much so 

 in fall, and more shy in latter season. The 

 olive head and back and decidedly rufous 

 tail make it easy to distinguish from other 

 thrushes. 



April 17, 19 1 2. Was awakened at 5 

 a. m. by this thrush singing in a tree close 

 to my window. Sang clearly about this 

 number of notes :

I have often heard the bird in S. W. Har- 

 bor, Me. This song was an unmistakable 

 thrush song. It could not have been any- 

 thing but the Hermit at so early a date. I 

 did not see the bird, however, being ill in 

 bed. I have not heard of its singing dur- 

 ing migration in this locality before, 

 neither had Mr. B. T. Gault, of Glen
