This morning I was down in the woods 
near the fair grounds. Heard a single 
chewink calling and singing several 
times. The note was a sharp rising 
call note whink , and sometimes 
immediately preceded the song like 
whink chink burr pel a v.el a ts e. 
The whole had a pleasing ringing 
quality and sounded well. It was the 
first I had seen this year.

This morning I was down in the woods 
near the fair grounds. Heard a field 
sparrow sing in a peculiar way. The 
song was like tsea tsea tseatsea 
tur-tur-tur tr-r-r-r-r . 
After the first four the note became 
more and more rapid until they were 
trilled.

This morning i was down in the woods 
near the fair grounds. There were 
several cowbiras there. The males pur¬ 
sued the females in regular blackbird 
fashion. The females seemed jealous 
of each other and went the male chased 
one the other always came. They gave 
call notes like fe-steo and a harsher 
chit-lit-t-t.
