This morning after breakfast I went up 
towards the graveyard. Saw a great many 
juncos in sandpit. They were very tame. 
They were evidently just beginning to 
wake up. I stood by one brushpile and 
watched them come out. They would sneak 
around like mice and then suddenly come 
out with a note like tsit tsit and a 
great flutter of wings. Theydid not 
pay much attention to me. They were 
mostly males and were very quarrelsome. 
One or two sang a little. They would 
feed up to within a dozen feet of me. 
They were continually moving und dashed 
around like mad continually showing the 
white feather.

This afternoon Mat Engeln and I were 
over at the Hemlocks. Heard a bluebird 
across the river and saw it sitting on 
no ^ e a fence post. It gave the turor note 
actions of the fall. It flew down to the ground 
and then lit in a tree over to the south. 
In a few minutes we saw another. This 
one was s ingi ng. The s ong was like p 
tru ally and sometimes it gave a note - 
like p ar.
