Mt. Moosilauke, N.H.
1894
June 16
(No 3)
Parula Warblers, Black-throated Greens, Blackburnians (very numer-
ous, Black-throated Blues (only a few) Canadian Warblers, Redstarts
(one only) Oven birds, Red-eyed Vireos, Cedar Birds, Purple Finches,
Blue Jay (one only), Yellow bellied Flycatcher (one) and Ruffed Grouse.
The last are apparently rather numerous on the mountain for we
found four dusting wallows and started two birds, one a
female accompanied by a brood of young.
  As we stood on the ridge of the mountain listening to
the Bicknell's Thrushes we heard in the distance below an
Olive-backed Thrush singing and still more faintly the song
of a Hermit Thrush. Thus all these birds were within hearing
at once but nevertheless the range of the Bicknell's is
unquestionably much higher than that of the other two.
At its lower limits it overlaps by several hundred feet
probably the upper limits of the vertical distribution of
T. swainsoni.

  There were two birds apparently missing on this
mountain which we had expected to find viz. the
Winter Wren and Mourning Warbler. It is much too soon
in our experience, however, to conclude that they are not
here.
  Juncos were much less numerous that I have usually
found them to be on our New England mountains but
White-throats were more abundant than usual especially
among the stunted forests near the crest of the ridge.
  After tea we walked down across a wide intervale field
to the river which flows through a deep ravine heavily wooded
Swainson's Thrushes, Hermits and a Black-throated Blue Warbler
singing. A Barred Owl hooting in the distance in
a sugar maple grove on the mountain side.
