high up in the trees and was so small that I 
rarely got a glimpse of it. Finally it went into 
a giant hemlock on top of the rocks. It made short 
t*rips to other trees hut always returned to the 
hig one. Finally it lit on a low dead limb in 
Plain sight and sat there lobking around. I 
w °rked around until I could see it and watched it 
f °r a while. 
Heard the song of the golden winged warbler 
Sb'l a male white-thr oated sparrow flew up from 
the ground. Yellow—billed cuckoos were heard 
filing and I saw one. At home as I sat on the 
Porch resting I heard a great commotion among the 
* n glish sparrows and looking around saw a Cooper 
hawk about 200 feet up it came from the hill 
a hove town and went over to Hackett’s grove where 
y dropped straight as a plummet onto an un¬ 
fortunate chicken and carried it off through the 
trees. 
This afternoon I went over to the Hawk Creek 
& “alley. Found a catbirds nest with four eggs in 
t and started to collect it but broke one, a 
resh one and put the others back. 
Saw the flight song of the Maryland yellow 
hroat once and that of the ovenbird several 
iaes. The latter gave fragments of the common 
Song with its more inspired note. 
Two chicadees full grown were feeding from 
he brush and fallen trees. One fluttered its 
V/ l%s as if begging for food and gave the notes 
the young whenever the other came near. I am 
s bre that it was the female and that they were 
toated. 
In a fallen tree top I had a momentary glimpse 
a Canadian and a hooden warbler. They both 
Wished when I tried to come near. 
Indigo buntings were thick and I Scared up 
a ruffed grouse from a decayed log which had 
6a rly mingled with the soil. It had scratched 
a hole about as big as the body and had 
^ v idently been lying in it when I frightened it up. 
e veral 1 have scared them out of like situations 
^ have found the holes.
