April 29, 1903 - Wednesday. 
This morning I heard a brown thrasher sing 
a spotted sandpiper flew over. 
After dinner I went over into the river 
'roods. 
,, a white-crowned sparrow, white- 
'•hroats were plentiful. 
V;ater-thrushes of both species were singing. 
By the railroad bridge I was just leaving the 
"°°ds, so dead sick that I could hardly walk 
e n I heard a harsh mewing peet giving in the 
°R of a cat-bird's mew. I placed the bird in 
a “rushpile and 1 knew at once for a blue-gray 
Ratcatcher my first specimen. It kept its wings 
i-Doped and sometimes cocked its tail above its 
a R giving it a very mocking birdlike look. It 
Q sallies after insects straight up into the 
a R> caught them with a loud snap of the bill and 
^ ®n pitched down again. Then it flew into a 
Ree an £ i lost it although I heard its note once 
r twice afterwards.
