field outside the woods. There was also a Grouse drumming 
very near us. 
Two larch trees of unusual size, which stand on the 
edge of the meadow not far from where we sat down, were at 
times simply alive with birds, among which in addition to 
most of the species just named we saw a Black-poll Warbler, 
several Yellow-rumps, and a dozen or more Goldfinches. There

was also a small Warbler with a rather shot tail which I 
fully believe to have been Helminthophila pinus

parts which seemed to be wholly of a rich chrome yello?/ and 
without any trace of streaking. The crown was also rich 
yellow. I could not ma£e out any wing bars but then I did not 
see the wings at all distinctly. Faxon' s impression of these 
colors agreed exactly with mine. The bird was active and 
silent. We often lost him among the Goldfinches and the 
light was bad,for the background was white, dazzling sky. 
On the way back to the pond we started a White- 
throated Sparrow in some alders
