  There were more small birds in the woods on the Point this
morning than I have seen there at any one time since the first few
days of our stay this season. I looked them over carefully with
the glass and listed the following. Turdus aliciae, one; Parus atri-
capillus, several; Troglodytes hiemalis, 2 in a flock; Mniotilta varia, 2 in a flock;
Dendroica maculosa, 1; D. caerulescens, male female female in a flock; Seiurus aurocapillus, 1;
S. noveboracensis, 1; Spinus pinus, heard flying over; Habia ludoviciana,
female; Cyanocitta cristata, 4 in a flock; Colaptes auratus, 1 in full song; Actitis macularia, 1.

  At about 10.30 P.M. an Oven bird rose over the woods behind the
camp and gave the warbling part of the flight song with much
sweetness & vigor but omitting the teacher notes. The night was warm,
calm and dark the sky being obscured by clouds at the time.
