John Davis. 1941. May 23. Harriman, 900', Orange Co., New York. They are small and very active, moving rapidly toward the stream when pursued. The B. palustris was taken in a small pool. Returned and shot a few more birds. Skinned and prepared the amphibians in p.m. Among the plants I have identified today are a species of Viburnum which is rather common, and Prunus serotina, which is widely distributed, but quite small. The sumac here is Rhus hirta. May 24. Set 20 traps in grass and sumac jungle. Nothing in traps. Shot a robin. Left traps out. May 25. 1 Jayus hudsonius in traps. Collected a chimney swift, rose-breasted grosbeak, and golden-winged warbler. May 26. Nothing in traps. Picked up live. Collected catbird, towhee, and yellowthroat. May 27. Went into New York. Visited American Museum of Natural History. Saw Ernest Mayr, George Goodwin, and Harold Anthony. At 8 p.m., went to Linnean Society meeting. More emphasis on field notes than at Cooper Club. Field notes constituted the major part of the meeting. Fallow Griscom attended. Seems to be regarded as the patron saint of eastern field ornithology.
