field with a per-chic-o-ree. It contained 3 
young. Their crops were filled with food. The 
outside was composed of cobweb’s, cornsilk, 
dandelion stems with heads, grass, strips from 
weather beaten weeds like the lambs quarter, 
grapevine bark and weed flower clusters. 
It was lined with thistle down. 
The contrast between the brown outside and 
the white lining made it very pretty. 
Then Jim Seeley and I took our dinner and 
went over south. 
By Blachley’s bridge we saw a number of 
English sparrows. By the wire fence near the 
ravines was a phoebe. It caught an insect with 
a snap near our heads. 
Borne bluejays were getting acorns at the 
ravines. 
By the spring in Voll’s woods there was a 
small bird in a brushpile. I tossed a handful 
of dirt at it and it flew out. It was a song 
sparrow with a rather short tail. 
Saw no more birds till we crossed a creek. 
Then there were a number of bluejays. In the 
hemlock trees at the bluff was a chicadee and 
some red-headed woodpecker. 
Y/ent on along the rocks. In the woods v/e saw 
two male redstarts. One gave a sharp note whick 
attracted my attention, lioscuitoes were very 
troublesome. Saw two hairy woodpeckers. A male 
Went on the underside of a limb. They called to 
each other. 
There were a large number of cedar waxwings 
here. They were about the middle of the trees. 
A yellow-throated vireo gave the harsh note and 
sang. Saw 3 robins. They flew' up from the 
ground with a pimp. They were wild. 
Coming back \.e saw a flock of chicadees in 
the top of a broken down hemlock. 
Six ruffed grouse flew up from about 20 feet 
a way. They were followed by another, it looked 
at us as it flew and one of its wings cut a 
small hemlock. 
Saw a wood pewee. Went down under the rocks.
