June 1. // This species, like the Cape May and Tennessee War-
blers, seems to have entirely deserted this region. At
least those seen near the Lake House May 26 have disap-
peared. Yesterday I visited a spot where they abounded
in 1876, but not one could be found, nor was it either
seen or heard during my trip up Cambridge River, May 29. //
" 3. A male singing on B Point.
Dendroeca castanea.
Maine (Lake Umbagog). copy ④
1879.
(June 18) // A male singing on Great Island. The song is a
simple zoo-zoo-zoo, very quickly given. It closely re-
sombles the ordinary note of Regulus satrapa but has a
more ringing quality. There also I think, one or two
pairs breeding west of the Peaslee Farm, but I know of
none elsewhere and the bird is decidedly rare here this
season. //
1880.
May 16. Numbers seen to-day.
1881.
May 19. Several in the woods near the middle dam..
1876.
May 31. Hoard a number singing. The song is very uniform
in different individuals, and is almost indistinguisha-
ble from the feebler variation of the Redstart. It also
resembles the tzee, tzee, tzee of Regulus satrapa.
