This morning mother and 1 drove to 
Barahoo. Saw a great many flickers 
- com " feeding in the fields wit h meadowlarks. 
Panions They were rather wild and flew up into 
the trees as we passed. One flew along 
in front of us for quite a while. It 
/light would fly from one telegraph post to 
another and call, keeping just ahead. 
In flight it dipped down nearly to 
ground which it flew along until it 
came to the next post when it rose up 
and lit on the cross bar.

This morning I was down in the woods near 
the fair grounds. Ruby-crowned kinglets 
were thick. They were in full song. I 
copied the song like this su-see-su-see 
tuer tuer turt tur te tur te tur tr and 
sometimes tsea on the end. The first 
four were given rapidly and insectlike. 
The whole song seemed to bubble out as 
though it could not be stopped. First the 
flow of steam and then the water. It did 
not seem particular, whether it was in a 
high tree or bush. They were very fidgety 
continually flitting their wings. They 
gave angry flitting notes like chit-it.
