The chicadee came hack. It went in and 
1 could see its tail move in the entrance. It 
would throw pieces out of the hole and take 
small ones in its hill and fly out v/ith them. 
It went off and stayed a minute once in a while. 
I went up and examined,it^ was hout an inch 
across at the entrance and widened out to about 
2 inches. It was dry pithy wood. The pieces 
were scattered around he low. The chicadee had 
come to close to the outside in one place as a 
ray of light testified. 
Went over and climbed up to a downy woodpecker 
nest. A chicadee had built in it. The nest 
was made of feathers and grass and hark and 
completely filled the opening. The bottom was 
of roots and one piece had Jeeves on it. The 
debris in it of insectwings, crickets 
•gs, one hazelnut with a hole in it, put there by 
Hesperorwjs, and part of an acorn suggest very 
well whai. they fed on. 
Went on across the bridge and around. Found 
another hole but did not see the owner. I think 
that it belonged to a white breasted nuthatch. 
Saw a pair of bluebirds out over the river on a 
stub, but could not get out to look for a hole. 
Saw both of the yellow-bellied woodpeckers across 
the river. 
Found another big nest in a stub but did 
not see the owner. It must belong to a hawk or 
an owl. It was built of twigs in a hole. 
Heard one of the yellow-bellied woodpeckers 
drum and the other answered with a thin note 
like Kia . It sounded like two trees rubbing to¬ 
gether. 
Found another nest. Heard one of yellow- 
bellies give a note like kree-ah kreeah kreeah . 
It suddenly flew over to where its mate wav, 
giving a note like quee quee quee and a loud ring¬ 
ing deur. It bobbed up and down like a flicker, 
giving a note like cow cow cow , and then flew off 
giving a note like chicky chicky chicky uttered 
very fast.
