  Helmithophila ruficapilla. - A male heard singing on July
4, 7, and 14 and a young bird seen on the summit of
Pack Monadnock August 6 were the only individuals noted
this summer. The bird heard on July 14th (near Abbot Thayer's house
at Dublin, N.H.) sang on wing mounting at an angle of some
45 [degrees] to a height of about 100 feet. Just as it cleared the tree tops
(pitch pines) it began chipping; next followed six or eight short,
full, rather liquid notes, then the normal song at the close of
which the bird shot downward to the earth.
  Dendroica coronata. - Decidedly less numerous than last year.
  " [Dendroica] blackburniae. - One heard singing July 5 another on the
15th, both in hemlock woods along the brook below Day's house.
  Seiurus aurocapillus. - Ceased singing after July 24.
  Setohphaga ruticilla. - Abundant along the wooded banks of the
Cantocook River where eight males were heard singing and a
brood of young seen on July 12. After this data the song was
not heard until August 29th when an adult [male] was singing
steadily and loudly at about 7 A.M. near the village.
  Geothlypis trichas. - Last heard in full song July 26. 
  Vireo olivaceus. - Singing regularly and loudly to August 5th,
fully & brokenly as late as August 30th.
  Vireo solitarius. - At least three different males heard
singing in July (8th - 20th) and a fourth on August 4.
One of the birds observed in July was singing in the same place Aug. 19.
