flight 
This morning 1 was "by the creamery when 
I heard a golden crowned kinglet call. 
The note was a high seety seety . Saw it 
in an oak. It flew out of there for 
quite a distance and passed very close 
to me. Its flight was hounding and 
erratic hut had a law even to its 
erraticness for it flew zigzag first one 
way and then the other with a hounding 
flight all the time.

Y/oods near Pair Grounds in Barahoo 7:45 a.m 
This morning I was down in the woods near 
the fair grounds. Vesper sparrows were 
quite common. I heard one sing and saw it 
on the ground. I watched it a while. It 
advanced towards another one with tail 
_ raised und out stretched wings vibrating 
with a swift tremulous up and down motion. 
Resentment The female, however, flew at it and drove 
female it away and then went away herself. Both 
sang. They were evidently mating.

mating 
Ret ions 
This morning I was down in the woods near 
the fair grounds. The meadowlarks were 
very demonstrative. One was wooing - his 
mate in the peculiar hlackhird manner of 
chasing her. They flew very fast and 
turned and twisted in all directions. 
One of them probably the male gave a note 
like whiss and the male also gave 
snatches of the flight song.
