Marble r, a male. It was very leisurely in 
its movement and was silent, The cheeks in 
certain lights showed red but in others seemed 
an uncertain yellow that would attract attention 
however. The bird v/as very tame and paid no 
attention to me whatever. 
May 13, 1903 ~ Y/ednesday . 
This morning I heard a strange song coming 
irom m&ny of the trees and on looking it up found 
Nashville Warblers to be very common. The song 
Was ke tsuck ke tsuck keisu ck see see 3ee see~e-e-e 
Thi8~type was infintely varied sometimes one or 
two notes being given, then a trill and more notes. 
Then the notes were much varied in sound. 
It had rained during the night and I walked 
hp and down watching the great crowd of warblers 
that had come. Saw several black poll warblers. 
They gave a sharp song like tsink tsink tsink 
taln k tsink. They seemed rather pugnacious. I 
saw one chasing a robin and another a mourning dove. 
Frequently just as 1 got ny glass on one another 
c ame along and they chased each other off through 
the trees their small size and twisting flight 
la aking them hard to follow through the young 
Among the rest was a single indigo Bunting. 
He sat in the trees looking bedraggled but cheer- 
Ful and latel* I heard him singing. 
I saw a warbler in a little pine and on look¬ 
ing at it closely was surprised to see a bay 
^feast. Then I saw others, five in all. They 
8 eng wee see see see or wee see see a . They 
Were very active and chased the other birds con¬ 
siderable . 
An olive-backed thrush lit in a tree and 
ban down an almost horizontal limb. Then it went 
feeding on the ground. It ran around some¬ 
times helping itself with its wings in a half hop 
snd half fly when after an insect. It was rather 
and watched me closely. Finally it dis- 
a Ppeared in Gattiker’s yard.
