This morning towards noon I was up 
towards M. Knapps. There were two or 
three phoehes near,all males,at least 
jong _ they all called pe wee. One flew up 
in the air und hovering there gave a 
rapid trilling note like the last 
flight syllable of the song. It was giving 
song in an excited manner with a few pe wee 3 . 
mixed in. Then it lit on the barn again.

Near Tamarack Swamp - 9:30 a.m. 
This morning was up near the tamarack 
swamp. It was warm and sunny. Heard 
crow 3 some crows across the river calling loudly 
and knew that they had found an owl. I 
went up there said it flew. It was an 
immense horned owl. Most likely it came 
from its nest. The crows followed it 
cawing loudly but as soon as it lit were 
silent. It flew with a steady flapping 
flight.

This morning 1 was over in John Hacketts 
woods near the R.R. bridge. I was looking 
for a barred owls nest but did not find 
it. Heard some blue jays giving notes of 
anger and alarm and saw an owl fly. It 
lit and I came right up under it und it 
did not seem at all afraid. It kept close 
watch of me however. I sat down on a log 
and for about 10 minutes it never turned 
its great dark eyes from me. It was an 
excellent mutch to the tree trunks but must 
have known that it was seen.
