that of running water to the songs of the 
other birds. 
Several Phoebes were calling and. flycatch- 
They were in the tops of the tallest trees 
which struck me as a little strange. 
Two crows flew over about five hundred feet 
U P cawing loudly. 
Two tree sparrows flew into the thornapples 
uear Phoebe Creek where I was lying 1 could 
bear other singing across the river. These two 
lew down into the long sodden grass at the edge 
of the creek and began to feed on what they 
could pick up. I thought at first that they came 
bathe. 
When I started the winter wren started up in 
ront of me and I followed it around for awhile. 
There seems to be only the one here. It chimped 
me and scolded harshly on the wing as it flew 
8 °rt distances. Occasionally it came up on top 
° f a log or stone to look at me. It bowed and 
obbed, jerked as if it was a bit of mechanism 
nstead of a bird. It stood up very high on 
ts legs. Once it came around a log, saw me, 
Cr Qpt silently back and then began to scold. It 
crawled up the sides of logs and into all sorts of 
°les rarely using its wings except to fly a 
short distance to fresh cover, scolding as it 
v -' e nt. it was about as restless a little as I have 
! een f or quite a while. It must take a lot of 
l0 °d to run it for twenty-four hours. 
A hairy woodpecker was busy picking a log to 
Pieces and I stopped to watch him. He was prying 
f the bark for the angleworms underneath it. It 
Was a rotten log and was full of them. When I 
scared him off to examine it he lit on a tree and 
^aited for me to leave. I stood by hoping that 
® would come back but it showed no disposition 
c do so. He rubbed his head one the tree and 
en looked intently at some object in the 
hdie distance. % patience gave in first and I 
We nt on.
