62 UPTON, MAINE 1874 July 29 - 30 young warblers seem to be in transition from the nestling to the fall plumage. I heard maculosa singing. The young of Zon. albicollis and G.trichas have precisely the same note as the adult. Heard Curvirostra americana flying and Mr. Miller ( a boarder) shot a Hy.pilcatus which clung to a huge stub and has not yet fallen. The chirping of the broods of young birds is the characteristic sound of the woods now and all sparrows, warblers, etc. seem to make exactly the same sound. In P. M. skinned my birds and Messrs. Godwin and Sargent brought back 26 trout from Taylers cove. July 29. Cloudy and rained at intervals all day. In P.M. Messrs. Wright, Miller and Godwin and myself chartered the steamer for $5.00 and sailed up to Taylers cove where I caught about a dozen small trout and the others about the same number. Nothing in the bird line of special note except that we were treated to a glorious concert from the hermit thrushes at the cove. Got back by dark rather wet, but well satisfied with our trip. July 30. Clear and cool. Wind N.W. In A.M. took a short turn through the savins bringing ll birds, among them D.castanea nest- lng, 1 D.maculosa do., 1 do. Zon.albicollis, 1 Parus hudsonius adult, 1 do. Emp.traillii, etc. The chirping of the young of the different warblers is absolutely undistinguishable. That of the young Reg.satrapa is very like, but a trifle shriller. A young Vireo olivacea that I shot kept up a noise so exactly like a harsh note of the adult D.maculosa that I was deceived until I saw it. Saw a Picoides articus and a young Coc.erythrop
