Juno 10. 
Took five specimens during our stay, those were all 
that were seen. They Y/ore found irr dense, gloomy arbor- 
vitae sv/amps where their pres'-uico v/as usually betrayed 
by their low peo-e. Mr.Mavnard also heard both aevea 
singing; their note sounded to him like the word killinlf 
Any sudden noise, such as the cracking of a braneli or 
the report of a gun, seems to excite rather than to alarm 
them and frequently on such occasions they will fly to 
the spot as if impelled by curiosity.

Pound generally throughout the arbor—vitae sv/anps 
but i'ath,)r more nunivorous in the willow and viburnum thick

ently corresponds to the choj.at of the T.eaat PI

Very abundant along the Tyler road the males sing¬ 
ing everyv/here. The song is like that of the Least Fly¬ 
catcher ill tone, but in general cha,ractor perhaps more 
like the Jl.-ijl of Henslow’s Bunting. It may be closely 
imit‘-*atod'-by the sylables si—at with the accent on tbo 
last.

Aoout six heard aloi^g Cambridge j’.iver. The song
