It flew towards the brushy ravine near the pony field; I followed there, and in a few minutes saw a [[underline]] Yellow Palm Warbler [[/underline]] flying about in the low undergrowth.

Many Myrtle Warblers sang all thru the woods, everywhere- not in great numbers, but yet quite a few. Saw [[strikethrough]] J [[/strikethrough]] Brown
