Frazar shot a single bird iii Watertovm, the only 
one reported since December. 
General arrival yesterday, and to-day,a single bird 
alighted on the tops of our lindens, flitting from tree 
to tree as they are wont to do upon their first return 
from the south. 
Collected in extraordinary numbers in the woods 
near the Arsenal in atertov/n. About three inches of 
snov/ fell yesterday. They have not attacked the as- 
pai agus berries as yet. Several of the males 'VYore in 
full song, nevertholoss I think tho,/' were all migrants 
bound north, and that our local birds have not vet ar¬ 
rived. 
One in full song on the ton o" a tall oak in Can- 
bi-idyo.
