"The Shrike" G. Philadelphia as well as a Persons Bar, in nearly perfection full plumage; the latter as noted in '871 strolled so exactly like Icterus Baltimore that I could not detect the highest difference: he was drawing on the top of a Green Down 300 yds. away when drawing as he spread his wings and sailed in a long curve without a single flap to a brush within a few yds. I when an own standing, Garden Sw. was especially abundant everywhere. We saw them flocks of 6 Green & I shot Two with my rifle missing besides two flying shots with stone guns. While driving towards home at twilight an owl passed high over our heads flying almost like a night black. It was I think a Syrius nebulous and I was much pleased at getting this little insight into his habits. We saw Garden mis Amphis edron & others in the very heart of the woods. Heard also a gry. Gallatous The note is unnistakable though not like that of Todlaphus.
