Arrived Mr. Kinestri, My crinitus New note of Contopus borealis Cry. finnis Thursday July 1st 1876. Clear and the warmest day we had had with not so much as a breath of air. Started off as usual in the morning with S. taking the Stone road and continues on into the Ellenwood path. Shot 14 birds the best Myioptila cineresti 2, My. crinitus 5; D. Black burniae 3, D. custana 2 etc. Ston did not feel well and killed only one bird, a q Sphyrapic with a few red feathers in the throat. Arrivals now Carduelis fusca sand 1/ Exp. Vraillii 1; Mr. crinitus 3; Ml. cineresti one(2) Heard a new note from Contopus borealis a low note it was I think as the male while producing it was hopping with quivering wings around his head. It was a long continued chattering cry almost indistinguishable from the spring song of the q Sitta Carolin. Off Myriarchos I saw them, two of Other paired birds, they uttered the usual notes and were satine day, The M. Cinestris lifted up from the side of the Stone road and was perfectly silent. I see Cery. finnis every day in small flocks. The q Picoides that got yesterday had the largest oravis not exactly in size No. 8 Nest and apparently would not now breed for weeks. The q Sphy, Shot by S. today had laid all her egg as determined by dissection. This morning S, I took a daylght sail out on the lake and enjoyed ourselves amazingly. We heard a Gymnus nebulosum hoot repeatedly. Its cry was who, who, who-who
