This afternoon Jim and I went over in I. 
Hacketts woods. There were a number of least 
flycatchers there as usual. 
The woods were cool and nice although the 
musquitoes were troublesome. 
Went over across the track. 
Saw some chicadees and chebeSs. while we 
were trying to capture some jumping mice a small 
bird slipped along in the bushes and over a 
log as thotgh off a nest. Y.'e did not find it. 
(Song sparrow) 
I heard a sharp note and looking up saw a 
maje marsh hawk. 
He sailed around screaming and then flew off. 
Saw one wood thrush it was wild and called 
sharply. Heard the harsh che che che chur chur 
chur of the yellow-throated vireo but did not 
see it. 
Along the track were a number of male Indigo 
buntings. They sang. One looked green as it 
sat in the sun on a telegraph wire,Along a rail¬ 
road is a favorite place for them. 
Went over to the Baltimore oriole’s nest. I 
think that it was finished. 
The mourning dove’s had left the nest and I 
could not find the song sparrows nest at all. 
Across the river we saw a vesper sparrow sing¬ 
ing. It was near where I saw the first one and 
was probably it. 
Heard the drum of the yellow-bellied woodpecker. 
He was on a post. 
In front of Patterson’s we saw a bluebird 
sitting on a wire. 
I looked in a hollow post and there was a 
chicadee’s nest. I got out one egg that was 
broken and a whole one for my collection. There 
must have been 7 in it. One or two were broken. 
The nest was made of wool and down. The eggs 
were white spotted on the large end with cinnamon 
brown. They were fresh. 
Then we went home.
