Bird Observations 



"wit- wit- wit," seven notes in all, louder in 

 the middle. 



April 20, igo6. Still struggling to tell 

 the songs of the two water thrushes apart 

 Watched a Louisiana today — he sang the 

 song exactly as heard May 14, 1904, ex- 

 cept that the jumble did not usually follow. 

 Heard a second bird sing an intricate low 

 song, as if to himself, as jumbled as a gold- 

 finch's, but with the "wee-wee-wee" thrown 

 in every now and then. Thought this bird 

 was a noveboracensis, but am not sure.
