June 14 Bethel . Nashville Warblers are very common here especially in
Thickets of gray birches in neglected pastures. Three birds to which I
paid particular attention this morning all sang nearly alike but
each varied its song from time to time, I noted some of the
variations as follows: Tslit- tslit- tslit- tslt- tslit- tslee.
Tslit - tslit - tslit - tslit - tslit - tslit - see - ti - ti - di-i-i-i-i
Tsler - Tsler - Tsler - Tsler - Tsler - Tsler - Tsler - l-le' le'-el-e-de
These notes are delivered rapidly especially towards the close
of the song.
