This morning I went over in the Half Moon Woods. Heard some Scarlet Tanagers and Vireos making a great fuss near the [[strikethrough]] Half M [[/strikethrough]] Tamarack Swamp and went over there. A ^[[Broad winged]] Hawk up a few feet away and lit. It bent over and peered at me. I shot it with a charge of No. 12 shot. It was a Broad-wing and a very handsome specimen.

I also shot one of the Tamagers. It was moulting and was peculiarly marked with red and yellow. They were anxious even after I killed the Hawk. I also got two immature Chestnut sided Warblers out of a mixed flock. In the swamp I shot a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher but could not find it.
Saw a number Black & White & Canadian Warblers. The latter seemed to have long tails which made them conspicuous. They were quite tame but kept pretty well under cover.
