Icterus nalbula . 
Concord, 
1893 . 
Aug. 4, 
Mass. Adult males reappearing. 
The adult male Orioles are coming out of retirement at 
last. On the way to Ball's Hill I saw one, apparently in 
good plumage, in an elm by the roadside not far from a house 
and another fluted once this evening near the Buttrich's. 
These are the first that I have noted since July lsth but 
Faxon told me on Aug. 1st that he had seen them regularly up 
to that date in the elms about the hotel at E. Lexington and 
further that there had been a little singing each mofning 
early up to that date .
