Across Seeley Creek a junco ms singing. It 
sounded like a tree sparrows song. A Phoebe was 
in a tree in an open pasture. It finally flew 
to a house. 
As we approached the Bluffs a pair of marsh 
hawks were making love. They had their wings 
around each other and were flapping them, '..e hid 
behind a fence but they flew off. 
The juncos were singing all together. They 
were about a little brook that ran down the rocks 
and it made a pleasant sound, taking song and 
brook together. 
One of the Marsh hawks screamed several 
times but the birds paid no attention to it. 
T he juncos were rather shy. 
I whistled to a Chicadee and it came up close 
to me. The Phoebe ms in a tree above us. 
The white-breasted nuthatches song can be 
imitated by whistling. 
About 15 Cedar Waxwings flew over about noon. 
They circled around some. Then we went home. 
The birds became still in the afternoon, ex- 
) cepting nuthatches. 
April 3, 1900 ~ Tuesday. 
This before breakfast I saw three lied winged 
Blackbirds flying towards Udell's Marsh. 
Went down in the fields. Song sparrows were 
singing from all over. Suddenly I distinguished 
another strain. It came again and I knew that it 
was Vesper Sparrow. It was over near the same 
place at which I saw the first last year. 
Went down to the hitch. A number of song 
sparrows were in it. They gave an alarm note like 
tsip and not the usual chimp. 
It began to rain and one of them flew up on a 
post 20 feet and began to sing. 
One lit on a clod on some plowed ground and 
0 stood there for some time. I think that it thought 
that I did not see it. Then I went home. 
Y/ent down in Tim Hackett's woods after break¬ 
fast with Art Hudt{ and Per«y Knapp. The woods 
were full of Juncos and Tree Sparrows.
