IB, 
One sings regularly in a narrow strip of paper 
birches bordering the lake shore*; I got vrithin six foot 
of him to-day as ho was anong/soioo low- willows, 1f y .for¬ 
mer descriptions of tho song are accurate. I hoard, a 
now note to-day, a low wishing, like that of Vireo gilvttp. 
^ Tv, 
Two males singing to-day, one in fllinwood*s clear¬ 
ing, the other, near the Sargent cova. The former I saw; 
ho was singing in p small paper birch, and I stood for 
sometime within' ten foot of hire. I again hoard tho 
whining note and carefully criticised the song which T 
can now toll with absolute certainty from that of Vireo 
lilivaooous; it is slower, with less volume, and has a 
peculiar double syllabled note which is always repeated 
twice

Have hoard one singing daily in the same place for 
oast, tv/o weeks in a bolt of young birshes and poplars 
bordering the lake shore. Searched every tree to-day for 
the nest but could not find it.

Shot a male in a small poplar near tho Middle Pam'. 
It was in a flock of Warblers and was silent. 
A number singing along the Cary road between Rich¬ 
ardson Lake and Umbagog. Tho open second—growth of 
poplar and birch over tho burnt lands along this tract 
is peculiarly well—suited to the habits of this species 
which is evidently much more numerous here than about 
Upton. I saw a numb ore of old Vireo’s nests low down, 
some of which doubtless belonged to this species.
