Peterboro, New Hampshire.
1899.
July & Aug
  As I dealt rather fully with the bird fauna of
the Peterboro region in my journal for July & August, 1898,
I shall confine myself in the present connection, to noting
only such facts and observations as supplement those
obtained last year. The species added to the list this
season are as follows:
[margin]Birds.[/margin]
  Turdus fuscescens. - A male in full song in the swale near
Day's house July 11th and five or six birds (one singing)
noted the next day along the banks of the Contoocook 
River half-a-mile above the village. On the 17th one was
heard singing and on the 30th either the same or another
calling in a dense spruce swamp half-a-mile east of
Cunningham Pond near the western base of Pack Monadnock.
[margin]Additions
to the
1898 List.[/margin]
  Sitta canadensis. - One seen July 15th in hemlock woods
near Day's, two August 6th on Pack Monadnock, others at
frequent intervals during the latter half of August the greatest
number (six birds) being noted on the 30th of that month.
Associated with Chickadees and mixed flocks of Warblers etc.
  Compsothlypis a. usneae. - One heard singing July 5 in
hemlocks along the brook below Day's house.
  Dendroica aestiva. - Apparently not uncommon in thickets
along the Contoocook River half-a-mile above the village
where two were seen and third heard singing July 12th.
There can for little doubt that there were summer residents here.
  Sylvania canadensis. - An adult [male] in full song met
with by Mr. Deane on July 6th in swampy woods E. of Cunningham Pond.
