A yellow-throated, vireo came hunting along in 
the trees. It gave a low indrawn note like 
tsick. 
~~ "Some flickers called loudly from across the 
river. Then we went home. 
S eptember 6, 1900 - Thursday . 
Mr. Ttjmble told me that he saw a white 
sparrow up town in the road. Father said that 
he saw' it too. 
September 7, 1900 ~ Friday . 
This afternoon in front of J. Jacob T s I saw a 
chipping sparrow feeding a nearly grown young 
one. 
September 8, 1900 - Saturday. 
Went hunting this morning. There were a 
dumber of English sparrows by Blachley’s bridge. 
They drank and bathed in the shallow waner. They 
would settle down and flutter an instant and then 
fly to a willow. 
Over by G. Haclcett’s there were a number of 
vesper sparrows in the road. 
The woods were full of migrants. Strange 
Warblers flitted through the undergowth and 
sparrows of different species flew up into the 
trees as I neared them. The greater part were song 
sparrows. While climbing a hill a bluejay flew 
into a thicket several times. It was storing some¬ 
thing. 
Another sat in a tree till 1 was within 10 feet 
it. 
There were a number of yellow-throated vireos 
in the trees. They seemed to keep to the tops of 
the tall maples and kindred trees. There song 
is louder and richer than that of the red-eyed vireo 
“ent on up ■che hill. Saw a scarlet tanager. It 
flew up from the ground and was much alarmed, 
sailing long after, I had passed. In an opening 
a flock of about 25 bluebirds were flycatching. 
They kept to the tops of the trees and were silent, 
■‘■wo or three were in the air most of the time.
