youngsters would even light so close to them as 
to crowd them off the sunflower heads on which they 
were feeding. They followed the old ones all over 
and a sharp per-chlc- o -ree from one or the other 
the whole flock would take wing and go to some 
other feeding ground. 
Robins were thicker than they were *>unday and 
shipping sparrows were also more numeroua. Both 
species were very tame and they both fed on the 
ground. The chippers were rather silent. Many of 
them were young ones. They kept bunched in small 
flocks. 
The three kinds of vireos were present. I saw 
0ne male yellow-throat that was a beauty. He was 
low down for a wonder. He had quite a fine song 
for fall. Occasionally he lit in a dead tree and 
staid there for time. 
>.e saw one magnolia warbler and a number of 
^ashvilies. .Redstarts were rather rare. 
v »’e heard several purple finches and at last I 
saw two across the river. One was a male and his 
®ad looked bright red in the sun. He was very 
restless and kept constantly moving at one time. I 
fought he was catching insects but was not sure. 
xhe other one kept hid all the time. The first 
^ould fly into a tree work his way to the top and 
take another and do the same. Once he lit in 
s dead one and staid there looking around for 
some. Finally it flew into a tree that was half 
fdden by another and we did not see it again. 
Nashville warblers and song sparrows were 
'Idite thick. Saw one young song sparrow that was 
Oust learning to fly. It started across the 
ver but fell in and had to flop to shore, 
g further on we climbed a tree and sat there. 
°oins and cedar waxwings were quite thick. One 
sdar waxwing sat in the next tree on a dead limb 
r some time. I made a drawing of it. Then it 
Qw and we came down.
