Palm Warblers 
A few Savanna Sparrows still linger in the 
meadows along the river and I saw several Grass Finches in 
a field. There are Field Sparrows along many of the brush- 
grown walls and Chippies in swarms in the weed-fields and 
orchards. Some Song Sparrows were singing doubtfully 
near Egg Rock this evening. 
Faxon tells me that the Arlington region was 
flooded with migrants on the morning of the 2nd inst. He 
noted 43 species,among them three White-crowned Sparrows, 
one Lincoln’s Finch (shot), and eight Yellow Red-poll 
Warblers, three of which were the true Palm Warblers (pal- 
marum). There was no marked influx of birds in Concord 
on that day. Apparently most of the great bird waves follow 
a line near the coast^
