song among the others. 
The white-throats jumbled their notes much 
!ike the song sparrows but the wild notes kept 
breaking through to the surface. 
There were a number of chewinks here. They 
fed on the ground more openly than any of the 
other birds. Frequently one would crouch be¬ 
hind a stick or some grass and watch me for a 
ndnute or two. They did not venture far into 
the open but fed in the short grass near clumps 
of bushes or scracted among the leaves under 
the large round clumps of prickly ash. They 
called whink occasionally at a distance. The 
^st end 'of ‘the pasture was filled with sparrows

of course they intergraded. 
I heard one ruby-crown give a fair song

Golden-crownsalso sang a little. They 
seemed perpetually in a hurry. 
I threw an apple core into Seeley’s marsh

throughout the entire marsh. Farther on one 
flew up from the edge and dropped into the grass

Below Fullmer’s about a dozen myrtle warblers 
Were collected in a small willow overhanging the 
w ater. They were feeding on the little whirligigs 
T hich were collected there in enormous numbers. 
Here was a large flock of juncos. The
