About 10 bluejays were feeding in a field. 
They flew up as I approached. I stood still 
behind a tree and they came down soon. 
They were eating grasshoppers. The grass was 
as high as they were making them hop very high. 
They pursued the hoppers along the ground taking 
large high hops. 
They seemed to be very easily frightened and 
would fly up almost as soon as they lit at times 
A kingbird that was chasirg all the birds near- 
fought one. 
A young redheaded woodpecker was flycatching. 
close by. The kingbird seemed to consider it an 
enemy he chased it all over. 
Once the redhead caught a miller. 
A phoebe that was on a stub in the river took 
a bath by flying into the water. 
Went on into the next woods. The goldfinches 
were flying around here. One male called all 
the time. 
Bobwhites were whistling from all over. 
Went back and sat down on a bank near some 
thornapple trees. A bluejay was in them. It 
bopped onto a stump and went along the ground. 
A pair of yellow-bellied woodpeckers were in a 
small black oak a few feet away. One was a 
female and the other a young one. The young one 
was begging for food. A redhead lit on a thin 
twig s.nd it bent down. It turned over on its 
back and hung there for nearly a minute looking 
at me. 
A blue jay gave a few notes of the song krr-r- 
j’~rk and a great variety of other notes. 
A female Maryland yellowthroat flew by with 
food in her mouth. 
Saw a large hawk of some species, (fled-tailed) 
Then some blue jays began to eat acorns. They were 
noisy and their notes sounded as though some one 
Was using a wagon that had not been greased. 
Then I went home.
