 but the song sparrows he seemed to enjoy. Both would be 

 singing on the same brush pile at the same time. Prof. Gross

 warbler in large flocks April 26, Wilson thrush, April 27, 

 nest with three eggs of red-shouldered hawk in red-oak near 

 the Arboretum, April 29, bobolinks, May 15, kingbirds. May

 not heard this season. Two seasons ago the red-headed 

 woodpecker remained here on my farm all Summer.
