sparrow has a white line over the eye. uome 
instead of the white there and on the chest 
are dark huff. I saw one of each kind; I 
had crossed Fiske’s pasture and was on 
Dougherty’s land hy the same old ditch when 
I saw them. The ditch hanks are covered with 
nettles on his land. Farther on I started up 
two swamp sparrows. Their underparts were 
white; "breast faintly streaked with light 
cinnamon "brown; head the same; wing s reaKe 
with hlack; middle hack and rump same as head; 
tail notched brownish. Note a shaip , 1 s . i f. 
or tser. They kept talking all the time. 
Flight - "is low and direct. They kept to hushes 
and weeds, occasionally lighting on a fence. 
As I crossed the ditch and entered Hackett a 
field a redstart looked at me an instant and 
then went about its business of flycatching. 
Its belly and under tail coverts were whitish; 
lower breast yellow; head, back and upper 
breast olive green, tail tipped with black; 
notched. It gave no note while I watched it. 
It was very restless hunting along the limbs 
and flitting from one bough to another. 
Farther on in a tree I saw a^ine warbler. 
Its underi»rts were yellow steaked with black 
streaks; upper parts olive green, two white 
wing bars. Its habits were similar to the 
redstart’s, but it kept higher in the trees. 
Then I took a short cut home.

V/ent down through - the pasture” Saw some, 
goldfinches flying and heard a bluejay calling 
to another which answered.When they call they 
give one note like jay ,and after a pause a 
number like it, only close together. As I 
crossed on to Dougherty's a song sparrow started 
up and lit on the fence at the farther side of 
his (D’s) ground. It hopped nervously along 
flirting its tail and looking at me timidly.
