Went up on Northrup's by the R. R. Bridge. Saw a Single Yellow Warbler. Catbirds were thick. Found a Flicker's nest in a tall stub. Heard a Magnolia Warbler singing. The song was like: [[wavy underline]][[?rit rit rit ra it te]] [[/wavy underline]]. It was in the top of a tree. It is about as pretty a bird as I have seen. The underparts were yellow; breast and middle of belly streaked with black; underside of tail white, tipped with black; back olive, one white wing patch. It gave the song at short intervals.

Saw a Wilson's Thrush and several Wood Thrushes. On my way home. I saw a White-crowned Sparrow. Its tints were rich and harmonious and it was very beautiful.
