 ^^Q^' This mornii.g in Lawrence's big woods we f^oiind a mixed 



iiay 1. flock of Yellow-ruiaps and Yellow Palra ¥/arblers flitting about 

 among the oaks and pines darting out after flying insects ar.d 

 singing freely, the dry, chattering notes of the Palm Warblers 

 blending with the much sweeter ones of the Yellow-riunps. The 

 song of the latter species possesses the same dfeamy quality 

 as that of D.dominlca which, indeed, it strikingly resemoles 

 in other respects although it is shorter ai-.d less penetrating. 

 Despite the fact that the Yellow-rump does not breed here it 

 is the earliest bird to reach us ivhose coloring suggests sum- 

 mer as the Black and l?/hite Creeper is the first 77hose song 

 carries the same suggestion.
