May 19
  Clear and oppressively warm with strong S.W. wind
Ther. 66 degrees - 86 degrees.
  The past two days have brought wondrous changes in
the vegetation. The apple trees have nearly finished blooming
and their white petals have been whirling in clouds through
the air all day before the strong winds like flurries
of snow flakes. The trees are leafing out fast and the 
woods now show masses of green foliage especially where
there are birches, maples and poplars. 
  There were a number of north-bound migrants on the
farm this morning. But most if not all of them were 
probably left over from the swarms that were here yesterday.
In the oak grove at the rear of the barn I heard
singing at 8 o'clock this morning Bay breasted Warbler, one
(I saw a female in the same tree at the same time), Black-poll
Warbler, one; Blackburnian Warbler, one; Black-throated Green
Warbler, one. In the neighboring apple orchard, feeding among
the blossoms, I saw a male Black & Yellow Warbler, three
female Yellow-rumps and a male Chestnut Sided Warbler.
A Canada Flycatcher was singing in the bushes near the barn.
  There were only a few migrants in the Run and 
in Pulpit Rock woods most of them being Blackburnians
& Black & Yellow Warblers. I noted nothing new to my list.
  Two Black & Yellow Warblers heard this morning sang
exactly the same although they were widely separated.
I noted this song as ree-ter-ree-ree-te.
