Dendroica castariea . 



Breezy Point, Warren, N.H. 

 1894. in the afternoon I spent an hour or raore sitting on the 



June 25. roclcs at the water's edge (by the river) writing. Presently 

 I heard a Bay-breasted V/arbler, new to o\ir list. He sang at 

 first like a Golden-crested Kinglet (the tze,e-te -tzee ), after- 

 wards exactly like a Redstart. I followed him about through 

 the spruces for nearly an hour getting repeatedly .within fif- 

 teen or twenty feet of him for he showed no fear of me what- 

 ever. He was very deliberate in his movements but kept hop- 

 ping and flitting from branch to braiioh and from tree to tree 

 keeTiing always in spruces and iisually near the ends of their 

 lower branches searching busily for food but singing steadily 

 the while at short intervals. 



June 28. I spent the fdirenoon alone in the beautiful woods be- 



tween the Moosilauke House and the river. It is a great 

 haunt of the smaller birds, among them two male Bay-breasts. 

 They were close together - at times in the. same cluster of 

 spruces. One sang exactly like a Redstart, the other the 

 typical song. I ara not sure that there was not a third male 

 at a little distance but one of the two jiist mentioned may 

 have moved his X'OSvttion and misled, me.
