Tennessee, Bay-breast & Blackburnian Mixed
Warblers in our Garden
Forenoon sunny; afternoon cloudy. Evening
showery. Rather warm & humid. Wind westerly.
  Gilbert & I left the Farm at 8.14 &
motored to Cambridge via Concord, Lexington
& Trapelp roads. Very pleasant spin with
car running perfectly. Fields at Payson Park
blue with acres of chicory, a rare show.
  Found a surprising assembly of migrants
in our Cambridge Garden soon after
reaching there at 9.29 A.M. Feeding among 
the heads of wild sunflowers in company
with 3 ad. [adult] Goldfinches were 3 Warblers,
an ad [adult female] Bay-breast [Bay-breasted Warbler], a [male] juv [juvenile] (?)  Blackburnian [Blackburnian Warbler]
& a very yellow Tennessee [Tennessee Warbler] - a young one,
probably. I got within twenty feet of them
& viewed them in sunlight, through my glass.
Shortly afterwards they flew to our big
willow where I presently saw a [female] Redstart,
female Mniotilta, juv [juvenile] Bal. Oriole [Baltimore Oriole], Red-eyed V. [Red-eyed Vireo]
Jays screaming, Flicker calling. Several Swifts
at evening. Percy reports 25 Robins yesterday.
Worked all day on Hairy W. [Hairy Woodpecker] story
but wrote only 2pp. Frank Manning
supped with us & spent evening.

2 Tennessee Warblers in Garden. Dull
Cloudy, warm & humid.
  Several Warblers in Garden. I followed
them about for some time after breakfast
without getting more than glympses at them
in tree tops in the Jungle but at length
came upon three in low shrubbery [?] the
Museum and watched them for many
minutes standing within 20 feet of them.
Two were Tennessee Warblers of which
one looked precisely like the yellow-throated,
whitish chested bird seen yesterday whereas
the other was everywhere yellowish beneath
& rather greenish above. Both were very
tame & busily employed in picking small insects
off raspberry & other leaves, twitching their tails
slightly every few seconds. Afterwards they
chased one another to & fro among the tree tops
chirping excitedly. At 1 P.M. they were in
the wild sunflower patch with a [male] Goldfinch
At sunset in the lilacs cheeping (sharp &
metallic notes). There was a  young [male] Redstart
with them this morning. He sang a good 
deal in subdued, halting tone. I also saw
a Mniotilta & a young Oriole. The pair of
Robins & their 2 young still haunting the Jungle.
Harry Spelman breakfasted with us.
I worked all day on Hairy W. [Hairy Woodpecker] story
compiling 3pp. & revising others.
Mrs. Cobb at supper. Walked home with 
her & saw Lizzy F. who had just returned.
