49 . 
This afternoon I went down to the 
ravines. The red-head was very shy. lie 
talked and hohhed at me frantically and 
flew around. When flying he gave a note like 
kit kit kit kit . At l£ast he disappeared. 
T'hunted all over hut could not find him. 
It was very slushy and just as I had gone away 
there he was again. 
Went over in J. Hacketts grove. I saw 
a female^downy woodpecker on a limb. I watched 
it a while. A red-head flew up just then and 
the downy was afraid and flew away. These woods 
were alive with birds. Some redpolls were 
feeding down on a slope. A chicadee was hunting 
near me. It put its head on the ground to get 
something from a stick. The female downy came 
over to where I was sitting. It would pick along 
the limb to see if anything was there. 
A big bluejay lit nearby and saw me. He 
flew off. 
The white-breasted nuthatches were there 
too. 
A fine redpoll came and perched not ten 
feet away. His breast was reddish. 
A pair of chicadees came in the tree above 
me. One shook its wings and gave a note like 
se-se-se-se-se. It was making love but the 
other flew off. 
Just then 5 crows flew over. Above the 
trees a chicadee hunted around in the leaves 
almost at my feet and then flew up and pulled a 
leaf to pieces. 
A red squirrel in the tree above me gave 
a sudden squeak and scares, up the redpolls. 
Then I went home. 
March 15, 1900 - Thursday. 
This afternoon about 5 oclock T heard an 
English sparrow give a note like 3 times. 
It was on the Lange's corner on the sidewalk. 
Another one with it gave the regular notes.
