Blackbirds 
We spent most of the day at Ball ! s Hill. While 
there I saw a pair of Whistlers flying down river past the 
cabin and a pair of Goosaanders in the water. The latter 
birds rose from the surface of the water about 100 yards 
above the cabin as I came in sight about noon, and flew 
off up river. An hour later I saw them again, swimming close 
to shore just above Benson's Knoll. The drake was a fine 
one, in full plumage. On the second occasion they took 
flight half-a.-minute after I caught sight of them, although 
I was 200 yards away and almost perfectly screened by inter¬ 
vening tree trunks and branches. 
Heard Rusty Blackbirds jingling in late P. M. 
Crows stalking about river.
