  The Orange Crowned Warbler was a highly colored one
exceptionally yellow beneath. Henshaw and I had it
under close observation for a minute or two at distances
varying from eight to ten yards. It was in low
gray birches. Its movements were very active but it
did not seem to be at all shy nor especially nervous.
Several Black-polls were feeding with or very near it.
It uttered no sound that we heard.

  The Connecticut Warbler was among dense 
white pines on the south slope of Ball's Hill within
a few yards of our wood shed. I think it started
up from the ground at my approach but when I
first saw it and for ten or twelve minutes after
wards it was among the lower (chiefly dead) branches
of these pines. Here it hopped from twig to twig keeping
concealed as much as possible behind the stems of
the trees and clusters of their foliage but craning it
neck to peep out at me whenever I stood still for
a moment. It was a trim, sleek bird but rather
ungraceful of movement hopping rather heavily &
clumsily as if not at home among the branches
and lifting its tail much after the manner of
a Maryland Yellow-throat but more slowly & with
less vigor. I saw every detail of its characteristic
coloring, including the buff, white eye ring, with
perfect distinctiveness. This is the first Connecticut
Warbler that I have ever noted at Ball's Hill.
It was apart from all other birds & it made 
no sound while I was watching it. It was tame
& evidently very curious to make out just what I was.
