Cambridge, Mass.
1899.
June.
  During this month Mr. Dean and I noted the 
following birds in the garden:
  1. Merula migratoria. From 1 to 3 seen daily up to the
middle of the month after which the
number increased sometimes reaching 7 or 8.
The first young were seen on wing on the 3rd
not more than two pairs & perhaps only one
nested on our place this year.

  2. Dendroica aestiva. A single pair present during the
month. I did not find the nest but
young were seen on the 23rd & afterward.
  3. Setophaga ruticilla. Apparently only one pair nesting on
our place this season. Both birds frequently
visited the pond under the lilacs to
drink or bathe.
  4. Vireo olivaceus. A [male] singing (& no doubt nesting) in
the lindens as usual.
5. Vireo flavifrons. Noted only on the 6th & 7th, a single
bird in full song on each occasion.
  6. Vireo gilvus.  A [male] heard singing on the 3, 8, 10, 13, &
16.
  7. Piranga erythromelas.  A fine [male] singing in the jungle
on the 6th.
