SoriR- of 
Yellow Palm 
Warbler 
[Walking around the Hill in the early morning I 
saw five Yellow Palm Warblers (two in one place, three in 
another), two male Yellow-rumps, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet 
in full song, two Elack and White Creepers and a few Robins, 
Song Sparrows, Jays, etc. 
The song of the Yellow Palm Warbler is very variable 
or rather different individuals sing very differently, for 
I do not find that the same bird’s song varies at different 
times. The song that I hear oftenest is most like that of 
the Yellow-rump but weaker or more listless and also more 
broken. Some birds sing very like the Chipping Sparrow. 
One that I heard this morning uttered a loud, dry, prolonged 
chatter qp.ite different from the song of any bird that I 
can think of. 
Crossed the river to the West Bedford shore at 11 
A. M. and walked up the river bank to dig some plants. 
The sun was very hot, the woods apparently nearly barren 
of bird life, but alive faith Antiope butterflies. A Red¬ 
shouldered Hawk flew from an oak near the place where we 
landed.
