Several hawks were seen. Red-tails and a 
sharp-shin. In 30me hushes we saw a few olive 
"backed thrushes hut they were not common. Saw a 
few Nashville warblers. 
After dark, about 9s30 I heard the high 
thin song of Certhia familia ris coming from the 
trees several times.

This morning I heard a single wood pewee 
calling in Gattiker's yard. It called pee ree 
with a queer rising inflection on the last note. 
It was high up in the trees and looked very 
s Pirited. Perhaps it was born somewhere far to 
the north in an entirely different country.

This morning after breakfast I went over on 
Island. By the river three juncoes flew out 
w ith their characteristic note. I made sure of 
their identity. 
A mixed flock of golden and ruby crowned 
^•nglets, iqyrtle,Nashville and palm warblers, were 
hunting low through the thornapple trees. They 
Were very quick and alert and seemed to pay no 
attention to the thorns. Y.hen they flew in from 
another tree especially the kinglets they zig¬ 
zagged about to get a suitable perch however. 
"he Nashville's were few in number. The myrtle 
Warblers had a note almost exactly like theirs. 
Bluebirds were very common, They flew 
around high overhead calling or fed along the 
6 nces. Robins flew up in all directions. They 
around in the sun a good deal high up on bare 
imbs. Saw a few that were quite tame. They ran 
Ground in the shade as they do in summer. 
V/ent down in the old pasture. American 
£°ldfinches were abundant wherever there were 
editable feeding grounds. 
Great numbers of song, white-throated and 
ite-crowned sparrows were found here.
