I noted two new birds: ft couple of soft little brown fellows sat on a dry 
twig near the road. They looked something like the English Robin. A 
larger bird, bright red in front, crossed the road in front of us and dart¬ 
ed into the blaok shadow of the heavy forest timber. B*idled Swallows 
perched on telegnph wire and dry twigs of trees. miite-hoadedehats. 
Black-and-white Shrikes, Bairy-baoks, Hawks, Orioles, Flycatchers, agtails, 
Rainorows, Crows, Haked-hoaded Starlings, little dusky Swifts, and Pigeons 
made up the bulk of the bird life. Many little red-and-greon Paraquets 
seen.
