pewee Creek at Hemlocks 4:00 a.m. 
This afternoon I went over to the 
Hemlock Bluffs. In a pond of water I 
saw a number of feathers which I judged 
to belong to a redtailed hawk. Its mate 
"agedy was screaming around in the trees.^ I 
‘ think it was killed by a coon as the 
feathers were in the water near a log. I 
could find no tracks, among the feathers 
were two greenish colored undeveloped eggs. 
She had probably been dragged from a large 
nest above.

Maine’s woods ~ 9^00 a. m. 
The quail are mating this morning. I was 
down in Maine's woods. '■‘•'hey were spread 
all through the brush piles, singly and 
in pairs. I could hardly ever get sight 
A ctions of them before they flew. I located one 
pair but they flew when after walking a 
short distance, I turned around to look 
at them. Saw one lying in the sun on a 
bank. After a time they began to call.

Mrs. Bussell's 6:45 a. m. 
This morning I saw a bronzed grackle in a 
tree. They have not been very thick so 
father far. It has been rather cold lately. 
This one flew and a male English sparrow 
®£tions took after it and chased it. The black¬ 
bird seemed afraid and twisted and turned 
but it chased it until it lit.
