Searle Shannaw abundant Abundant up to about the 10th. of October; a few seen as late as the 24th. of that month. Every pleasant evening up to September 21st. the males sang regularly after sunset, several often being heard at once. The last one heard singing was on the evening of Oct. 5th. None were observed singing in the air. They haunted chiefly the marshes and borders of streams, but, on Sept. 11th., I saw a young bird in a belt of maples bordering a road on a hillside some distance from any water. 70
