July 29-30 
young warblers seem to be in transition from the nestling to 
the fall plumage. I heard maculosa singing. The young of Zon. 
albicollis and G.trichas have precisely the same note as the 
adult. Heard Curvirostra americana flying and Mr. Miller ( a 
boarder) shot a Hy.pilcatus which clung to a huge stub and has 
not yet fallen. The chirping of the broods of young birds is 
the characteristic sound of the woods now and all sparrows, 
warblers, etc. seem to make exactly the same sound. In P. M, 
skinned my birds and Messrs. Godwin and Sargent brought back 
26 trout from Taylers cove. 
July 29 . Cloudy and rained at intervals all day. In P.M. Messts. 
Wright, Miller and Godwin and myself chartered the steamer for 
#5.00 and sailed up to Tylers cove where I caught about a dozen 
small trout and the others about the same number. Nothing in 
the bird line of special note except that we were treated to a 
glorious concert from the hermit thrushes at the cove. Got 
back by dark rather wet, but well satisfied with our trip. 
July 50 . Clear and cool. Wind N.W. In A.M. took a short turn 
through the savins bringing 11 birds, among them D.castanea nest¬ 
ling, 1 D.maculosa do., 1 do. Zon.albicollis, 1 Parus hudsonius 
adult, 1 do. Emp.traillii, etc. The chirping of the young of 
the different warblers is absolutely undistinguishable. That 
of the young Reg.satrapa is very like, but a trifle shriller. 
A young Vireo olivacea that I shot kept up a noise so exactly 
like a harsh note of the adult D.maculosa that I was deceived 
until I saw it. Saw a Picoides articus and a young Coc.erythrop
