places with ranges of wooded hill extending north and south on
both sides of the broad river valley. Passed through an extensive
tract of pine & hemlock woods where a Hermit and two
Blackburnian Warblers were singing. Heard three House Wrens in
apple orchards, two in Glendale, one near a farm house beyond.
