1893
June 5
Saybrook, Connecticut.
  Clear and hot with light S. to S. W. winds.
  We left Fairfield at 8 A.M. and went by rail to
Saybrook, stopping at New Haven for an hour's talk
with Flint who told us of a male Lawrence's Warbler
which he has been watching, of a nest of the Solitary
Vireo taken near the city last week, of a pair of
H. chrysoptera seen yesterday & doubtless breeding, and
of two male Audubon's Warblers taken in April by
young Verrill.
  Saybrook proves to be an attractive place; its
principal street a mile or more in length, very
wide, with grass-grown borders and a row
of fine elms on each side shading the sidewalks
and forming a long vista of foliage. Robins, Bluebirds,
Yellow Warblers, a Yellow-throated Vireo, A Warbling Vireo,
Purple Finches, Chippins, several Baltimore Orioles,
one Orchard Oriole, a Meadow Lark, [delete]and[/delete] two Wood Pewees,
& a Least Flycatcher singing. Also many Song Sparrows.
English Sparrows fairly numerous. No House Wrens.
Swifts in great numbers.
  In the afternoon we walked out of town about
half-a-mile along the track of the Valley Railroad
to a dense bushy swamp where we heard a White-eyed
Vireo & Chestnut-sided Warbler. There were also
Cat Birds, Towhees & a Downy Woodpecker.
Beyond the swamp was a long, rocky ridge
sprinkled plentifully with red cedars and densely 
clothed with thickets of dwarf sumach, bayberry and
