Dendroica coronata Gallinula martinica Hawodica egretta 107 April 27 - 1875 April 27. near the place this afternoon I heard this bird again in exactly the same place; probably they use a certain rock, mound or log very season. On the way home searched many likely orchards for owls nested but although I found signs in many & in some cases most likely holes with owl feathers & about them I could discover no nests. I forgot to mention in connection with my discovery of the nest yesterday that there were no "jellots" under the hole & only one in the surrounding orchard though in neighboring ones they were under small very tree. Saw a little flock of Dend. coronata this morning & a bird G. gallinula gesterday. The late April birds are very late this year & very scare too. I have seen but a single Parulus calandula and Himudo fricolor is very scarce; I think they were nearly all killed by the cold snap last week as before that they were far more plentiful than they have been at any time since. The snow is now entirely gon & the frost all out of the ground Saw a swallow building in one of my boro this morning & mating this (Apr. 28). A Gallinula gallinula martinica was caught at Rockford Mass Apr. 10th & a Rida egretta shot at Plymouth Mass Apr. 20th.
