Saw a number of purple martins. 
The camp was about a mile from Kilbourn in a 
pine grove on the Wisconsin River. 
Pulpit Rock was just above. 
The most noticeable thing was the great numbers 
of crows and their tameness. They would let me 
walk under them as they sat in trees.

The song of the chewink came incessantly from 
across. As many as 3 sang at once. 
The Indigo Bunting lias a more varied song 
than at home. I saw the flight song several 
times. I did not know it at first.

high in the air. One screamed all the time.

The river "has gone down and a sandbar goes 
from in front the camp to the whirlpool. Saw

July 15, 1900 - Sunday. 
It rained quite bard this morning." Jim and I 
took a walk in the afternoon toward the Pine Glen 
farm resort. Saw a number of phoebe's along the 
rocks and heard the full note of abluebird. There 
were English sparrows and chimney swifts around 
the cottages. We saw a family of kingbirds. They 
were very noisy. 
Coming back we ran across a robin roost in 
some scrub oaks. They were coming in for the 
night . There were over a hundred there already. 
They seemed to be feeding on the ground.
