Orange-crowned 
Warbler 
The Orange-crowned Warbler was a highly-colored 
one, exceptionally yellow beneath. Henshaw and I had it 
under close observation for a minute or two at distances 
varying from eight to ten yards. It was in low gray 
birches. Its movements were very active but it did not 
seem to be at all shy nor especially nervous. Several 
Black-polls were feeding with or very near it. It uttered

Warbler 
no sound that we heard^ 
The Connecticut Warbler was ajnong dense young white 
pines on the south slope of Ball's Hill, within a few yards 
of our wood-shed, I think it started up from the ground 
at my approach, but when I first saw it and for ten or 
twelve minutes afterwards it was among the lower(chiefly 
dead) branches of the pines. Here it hopped from twig to 
twig, keeping concealed as much as possible behind the 
stems of the trees and clusters of their foliage, but 
craning its neck to peep out at me whenever I stood still 
for a moment, rt was a trim, sleek bird but rather un¬ 
graceful of movement, hopping rather heavily and clumsily 
as if not at home among the branches and lifting its tail 
much after the manner of a Maryland Yellow-throat but more 
slowly and with less vigor, I saw every detail of its 
characteristic coloring, including thewhite eye-ring, 
with perfect distinctness. This is the first Connecticut 
Warbler that I have ever noted at Ball's Hill, It was apart 
from all other birds and it made no sound while I was 
watching it. It was tame and evidently very curious to 
make out just what I was.
