  I have never seen the woods on Pine Point more beautiful
than they were this morning with the low sun sending
shafts of light in among the densely-growing, white-stemmed
birches. The presence of the birds but an added interest, of
course. At one time I was surrounded by Warblers which
were making the branches shake and the foliage tremble
on every side while a Sharp-shinned Hawk sat perched
within twenty yards watching either me or the birds and 
a dozen Sheldrakes were swimming and diving close
under the rocky shore on my left and not thirty yards away.

  Dendroica caerulescens has two notes which clearly resemble
those of the Junco. One is a soft tsup , the other a
twittering flight call -(ti-ti-ti-ti-ti - each underlined]) exceedingly like that
made by the Junco when first taking flight but less loud.
These Warblers are exceptionally numerous here this autumn.
I saw at least a dozen this morning. They are often seen
in the tops of tall trees at this season.
