I saw Butterflies of three different kinds to-day, 
Antlona, a-id two reddish-brown ones of different sizes, one 
wit’ s - deeply scalloped wings* I also started r. small noth, 
:• everal .ood Frogs were croaking in the afternoon 
and e. dozen or more Hylas peeped for a short tine j#st before 
sunset. 
As the sun was sinking below the horizon .and some 
time before the Robins and Cong Sparrows had ceased singing, 
a bodooofc began peeping in the brush-grown pasture beyond 
the brook on the side of the road. He did not go up, 
however, for fifteen or twenty oinutes later after which he 
rose and sang at unusually short Intervals. I do not think 
that I have ever before heard a bird that had so rich and 
powerful a voice. Considered critidally and comparatively 
it was without question highly musical, much more so, I 
themght>than the voice of any Bluebird, I watched the bird 
through one entire flight but noted nothing new. It was, 
\ 
in fact, the regulation thing in every way. I do not think, 
however, that I have ever before known a Joodoook when 
* ‘ v 
singing regularly to alight and peep in .a different, plac e, 
after each descent, as this bird did. He invariably chose 
a grassy opening of which there are many among the blueberry 
bushes in this pasture. Perhaps I should note that on one 
occasion when he was -descending I was nearly certain that I 
heard the wing-whistling and the song notes at one and the 
same time.
