Yellow-throated Vireos were common and noisy. They sang continually. They kept usually in the tops of the trees. They have a great variety of notes. The Red-eyes were also common but did not sing much.

In the Tamarack Swamp I shot a Scarlet Tanager. It gave such a queer note that I could not think what it was. Here we saw two or three Ruby-crowned Kinglets and I shot a Black-throated Green Warbler. A few Water-Thrushes were seen. The Warblers worked back and forth through the Pines and when they had passed we would get ahead of them. In the evening I saw several Night Hawks and heard a solitary Sandpiper.

September 11, Sunday.

This afternoon I went down through Dahlke's pasture. In passing through a buckwheat field I scared up Vesper Sparrows every little ways. They flew erratically generally for some distance dropped down out of sight immediately.  They did not show much white on the tail on flight. They had black tails and might have been called Horned Larks easily enough.

In the pasture a number of Bluebird were flycatching around a clump of trees. Some of the young ones quarreled about a Woodpecker hole. I saw them look into it but none entered.

Saw several Palm Warblers here I took them for Chipping Sparrows at first. They fed in the short grass or perched on weed stalks for a minute or so to look around.
