Hirundo erythogaster.
Four flying over

One, singing actively all day —
Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea.
One feeding on the ground by the old pond, very
tame.
Seiurus aurocapilla
One walking daintily over the garden all day.
I saw him whenever I wnt out. He would
walk close up to me, within three paces, and I
never had a more beautiful view of the species.
Seiurus noveboracensis
One, calling occasionally, he came very near my
window once. Yesterday he sang beautifully.
Geothlypis trichas
One ♂ {male}. I would walk up within a few
feet of him, and he would toss his little
black fronted face into the air and pass
forth his sweet loud song.
Setophaga ruticilla.
One ♂ {male} in exquisite plumage. He was
very fond of bath in a dish of water just
outside my window and them sitting in the
crab apple tree within a few feet of me, preen
his feathers, and give me a fine view of him.
