came out on a dead limb and sat there looking 
around and singing for some time. I was just 
going to put it down as a bird of the high tree 
tops when it pitched down to the ground. It 
was much surprised but 1 got a better sight of 
it here. It kept around behind rotten logs 
and stumbs and under gooseberry bushes where 
it would not be watched easily. When I 
approached to closely once it gave the sharp 
alarm note and flew away. After awhile it 
vanished but soon I heard the song again. The 
last notes were an indfiscribable warblejj almost. 
The song had some of the quality of the indigo 
bunting song, a very persistent singer.

Chip chip wheets, tsure, tsee wheet a , and so 
on with endless variations. The underparts were 
pure white, the upperparts olive brown, line 
through the eye, black with a faint white one 
above it. The wings were drooped, the underside 
of the tail v/as white. The bird was about as 
large as the yellow-throated vireo. If anything 
a little larger. The song was somewhat like that 
of the red-eyed only not so rythmical and was 
more broken. It flew around singing frequently 
hanging back down and v/as deliberate in its move¬ 
ments like all vireos. Afterwards I saw another 
with it. The flight v/as bounding. It kept in¬ 
differently to the trees and undergrowth. It 
did not seem to be as persistent a singer as the 
red-eyed. While following it I came across the 
following sign on a tree - no hunting, fishing 
°r trespass. This of course somewhat complicated 
matters, but I followed the bird until it dis-
