(Helminthophila celata) more than 20 ft. [feet] & in clear sunlight. It was a dull & 
almost unicolored individual, showing little or no yellowish, even 
on the under parts. It jerked up its tail thrice but uttered
no call. There were many Black-polls [Blackpoll Warbler] close about it. At 
length it took a short flight into a leafy covert &
was seen no more.

22. Helminthophila peregrina. - On the morning of September 9 [September 9, 1913] a young 
Tennessee warbler very green (apparently grass-green) above, with 
strongly yellow (primrose (?) yellow) under parts, appeared in 
a low apple tree in front of our farm house when I had a
close and open view of it, watching it for several minutes
through my glass. Every now & then it uttered a sharp chirp 
muck like those of a Nashville warbler. There were several 
Black polls [Blackpoll Warbler] & Black-throated Green Warblers with or near 
it in the apple tree.

23. Compsothlypis a. usneae. - Usnea Warblers occurred more commonly 
than usual this autumn at our Farm haunting the orchard 
trees & the tops of the big elms for the most part. I saw them 
here rather frequently from September 11 to October 9 and 
met with one belated bird ([female] juv. [juvenile]) on November 4 [November 4, 1913], an 
exceptionally late date. During September they were often 
heard singing and on the morning of the 22nd [September 22, 1913] & 23rd [September 23, 1913] one 
gave the full song repeatedly while feebler & more halting song
was heard on October 19 [October 19, 1913].

24. Dendroica tigrina. On September 20 [September 20, 1913] a female Cape May warbler 
colored & marked almost precisely like the one noted on Sept. 17
last year [September 17, 1912] & similarly tame but more restless & less sedentary 
appeared near our house, at first in the little "Wealthy" apple tree
