  A Canadian Warbler was singing in bushes near our
barn this morning but I noted no other north-bound
migrants although I was in the woods for several hours
and walked to Ball's hill via Davis Hill and back via
Holden's Hill, thus covering a fair amount of ground.
Migration about over.
  Heard two Crested Flycatchers calling on Dakin's Hill
this afternoon. As I had left two birds at the farm
in the morning and as I found one there on
my return I think the ones heard at Dakin's Hill
must be a different pair.
  Yellow Warblers are unusually numerous here this
spring. I heard no less than three males singing on the
farm this morning, two in the berry pasture and the 
third in the apple tree behind the house. Two more 
were noted near Ball's Hill.
  Several Barn Swallows were collecting mud on the 
shore of our little pond this morning. They came to it in
pairs & alighted at the craters edge. The female at once 
began scooping up the mud in large globules which she
held for a moment in her bill & then apparently
swallowed. The male made a great show of looking for mud
but only once did I see him take up any. This
time he followed his mate with a lump in his bill.
