yellow, throat and breast yellow with a duller 
barker hand across breast; belly white, two 
^road joined patches of white on the wing. This 
Was the first one I had seen in two years, so 
first I was not sure of its identification. 
, ^s actions it resembled blackburnian some¬ 
what. 
Black-throated green warblers were common, 
could hear their pleasant woodsy song coming 
r om all directions. They gave continual 
^ariations from the song heard May 1 in the shape 
additional syllables. A common form was er-e-tze 
"whert-ta . It was easily recognisable however 
Uch varied. Once I saw two in the same tree. I 
patched one for quite a while. Generally they 
^ould hunt along one or two branches and they fly 
7 ®yhe six or eight rods to another tree to repeat 
performance. This made them hard to watch 
as the ground was in places covered with water to 
6 around which I had to make long detours. This 
be however kept to a group of three or four trees 
0r a considerable time. It would stretch up 
^aising its crown to look into a bunch of half 
Pened leaves and then perhaps catch some passing 
sect on wing. Once it got a green measuring 
rtn and shook it and beat it on the limb before 
Wallowing it. It was very alert and handsome. 
Saw my blue-gray gnatcatcher again. It was 
^bging and would it up for five minutes at a 
retch. This however did not interfere with its 
ovement, for it was hardly still an instant. 
6 song was very low but was a pretty warble. It 
Winded me of the catbird greatly with a slight 
Uch of the brown thrasher. Once it gave a low 
jay exactly like a bluejay. It gave a note like 
& or simply pe a variation of the put and also 
, rasing tuck. It kept hopping restlesly from 
anch to branch with its tail thrown over its 
while singing. 
Saw half a dozen yellow-throated vireo’s.
