B. Wilson killed & brought me y2 Buteos over the path one with neck outstretched, the other squatted close on the limb. When they sat perfectly motionless & presenting a beautiful sight, amid the delicate green frondage of the tree. After looking at them for some moments I shot one sitting and missed a snap shot at the other as he disappeared in the thicket, the bird killed had his crop filled with larch noodles. I find at a H. Columbian sitting but missed. I heard a P. Vestitus & a Canada Jay. Aug 29 Char and my host. Off after breakfast with S. taking the Clyde Road. Made a very growing work of it taking 6 good birds. 2 Vireo Philadelphicus, 1 D. Black, 1 H. Jungerina 2 My. Canadensis, 1 Vireo Dolatias, S took 1 N. Phil. & D. castanea sc. He shot the first vireo when I immediately started after the heterogamous assembly of warblers Chickadees &c. Among which he found at a poon elevated & shot two. They were both own tame within no note & Contrary to observations made on this species in Germ. appear even more active.
