This morning I was down in Heine's woods. 
Heard a peculiar whistling rippling song that at 
first 1 attributed to the spotted sandpiper but 
a few notes convinced me that it was the wood 
pewee and then I saw it. It was sitting on a 
limb in the sun singing. The song was very sweet 
a nd some parts were rather wren like. The 
re gular notes were interspersed abruptly in it. 
A catbird near me mocked it. The song was as 
follows although with many variations and was 
drawn out by constant repetitions. 1 have
