May 9 Monday

This morning in Baraboo I saw a number of Tennessee Warblers in Gattiker's yard. In all there were six. They were very restless and chased each other when they came together. One seemed to keep in a certain tree all the while and I even saw one in that tree at noon although it may not have been the same one. It made several short attempts at song as follows [[underlined]] tsa tsa tsa tse tse tse tse [[/underlined]] or -- -- -- - - - -. The first three slow and the others given hurriedly. The gray head showed quite plainly. 

I also saw one or two Nashville Warblers.

May 11, Wednesday.

This morning it rained for a while and when it stopped there were quite a few Warblers around. Saw three or four Wilson Warblers, a Tennessee, some Nashvilles and a Cape May. The latter flew into a spruce with a note like [[underlined]] tzip [[/underlined]]. It was not quite so restless as the others but when it did move it moved quickly. It frequently sat on the tips of the limbs looking around. Once it found a small worm and flying to an exposed perch ate it.
