jj’he bulk of the Warbler flight that arrived last 
night seems to have been composed of Black-polls, Bay-breasts, 
and Magnolia Warblers. Of the first named, I noted 4 males 
and one female;of the last, 20 males and 1 female. The 
Magnolias were scattered about almost everywhere. There 
were three or four in one blossoming apple-tree, as many more 
were in the Run, while the remaining birds were noted 
chiefly in Pulpit Rock woods. I heard two Black-throated 
Blue Warblers, one in the Run, the others near Pulpit 
Rock. The Warblers are still here in numbers, 
especially in the blooming apple-trees. I heard three 
Blackburnians to-day. 
Birds of every kind sang through the entire fore- 
and 
noon/well into the afternoon, despite the intense heat, 
but at sunset and for nearly an hour before it there was 
almost no singing. Bobolinks, Grosbeaks, Orioles, Tanagers 
and Wood Thrushes sang like mad nearly all day. I have 
rarely heard anything like it here. 
There are at least two and I think three male 
Wood Thrushes settled in our Run. Two were singing there 
this morning within thirty yards of each other near the 
causeway. As I passed on, I heard what I took to be a 
third at the foot of the Run but one of the birds heard 
before may have moved on as I moved.
