This morning after breakfast Will and I went over in the Half Moon Woods.  In the Tamarack Swamp were a number of birds.  They seemed to feed entirely in the pines and did not pass through the trees so hurriedly.  I saw two yellow-bellied Flycatchers and shot one.  They were more restless than the other flycatchers and reminded me more of warblers in their movements.  Both were silent.  They seemed rather shy but I got several good looks at one.

Shot a [[strikethrough]] Nashville [[/strikethrough]] ^[[Mourning]] and a Canadian at the  same time.  Warblers did not seem very thick or else I did not see them.  The Chicadees were always in evidence.  They continually swing back down from the tips of the limbs.
   Saw a family of Wilson Thrushes and  secured one.  They were feeding on the ground and when I came they cleared out flying up into the trees and then going way off.
