This afternoon it was very warm and the 
snow was going fast. The wind was south¬ 
west . The chicadees were on a wood pile 
next door. A man was splitting wood on 
one side of the pile and was throwing it 
up quite close to them but they paid no 
attention to him. One was a male and he 
followed a female around singing, whistling 
and talking to her, but she answered him 
with a harsh note and went off through the 
trees with him following.

This morning it was warm and sunny. Art 
Rudy, Clarence C 0 ok, Jim Seeley and 1 went 
down the track. At one place we heard a 
prairie homed lark call. Me could not 
locate it for some time but finally saw on 
some plowed ground a short distance away. 
Its brownish back made the ground perfectly 
It gave its creaking song a number of 
times. Others could be heard in all 
directions. They v/ere flying around some. 
These birds seem to roam around a good 
deal. This one flew away when a freight 
went by. Saw a male chase another of the 
same sex for a long distt-nce in circles 
each time they came back to where we v ere 
and finally lit on fence posts. They 
gave angry notes like tsit with a liquid 
sound at the end with flying.
