around over the water a great deal and was never 
s till except when it sang. It gave two songs 
jwee awee swee swee swis say o end swee swee swee 
_8wee swee swee. The first went along smoothly 
sudden speed in the last three notes and then 
raised with a falling inflection. 
Across the river a wood thrush sang a little 
b *t I could not get sight of it. It was the first 
°f the year. 
Black and white warblers were common. They 
called swit and sang a fine wee see wee see wee see 
Bee wees sometimes leaving off the last note. 
Generally they crept along but v/hen they wished to 
capture an insect quickly they fluttered their wings 
help them along. They did not get down to feed

Warblers. It came so close that there was no

Then I saw a bird which I identified as a 
female parula warbler. It was quite slow and 
Methodical in its movements. Then I heard a new

later on half a dozen others which I watched for

■E£fp when together but when separated were silent, 
fhe song was considerably varied but was easily
