Mourning Warbler.   Glorious.
Brilliantly clear & just comfortably
warm. Rarely perfect day. Light
W. [west] wind.
Autumn coloring of red maples, sassafras,
tupelos & ivy about at its height but
much less brilliant than common.
  As I was skirting our raspberry patch
about 9 A.M. a Mourning Warbler
began chirping excitedly in shrubbery
bordering lawn. A few seconds later it
showed itself in a thin foliaged bush
& in clear sunlight about 30 ft. [30 feet] away.
I looked at it through glass for
upwards of 2 minutes. It was quite
ashy on top of & sides of hard earth
[?] underparts its [?unclear] throat nearly
uniform clear bright yellow - an
ad. [adult] [female] I thought. Glover Allen & I
tried to find it again later but failed.

over an hour at the Emersons where
we saw Mr. & Mrs E., Ellen & Gerritt
