him as he sang. We heard two more.

The Warblers were very numerous. Nineteen
of that family did we see & heard, and some
of them in great numbers. Of the Black-
throated Green we counted twenty-five.

Three Blackburnians we saw & heard. Of
one I had a fine view as his golden
throat shone in the sunlight.

I was glad to see a Pine Warbler
as he flew away the White Pines and
sang a remarkable song, so Will said.
We heard 3 others. Yellow Warblers were
scarce for we counted but three.

One of the rarities of the day was a
Bay-breasted Warbler. He was silent
and I saw him for but a few seconds,
but I saw him well, and particularly
observed the deep chestnut-rufous stripes
on his sides. He was off before I saw
nearly enough.

The Chestnut-sided Warblers were every-
where, and they were singing lustily.
We counted at least twenty five.
It was the same with the Oven bird.
Out count was also 25. While we
heard nearly as many Maryland Yellowthroats.
