s ee if it was tight. Then it picked off a tiny 
hit of hark and hammered it down over it and then 
ieft satisfied. Question; Do they ever get things 
hidden like this again? 
After the sun went down the juncoes flew into 
Hackett’s marsh to roost in a straggling flock, 
i'here were about 25 of them. They flew from the 
fields where they had been feeding to a fallen 
tree and then to another and then to the marsh. 
^hey quarreled and fought in the air. They became 
< 3uiet as soon as they reached the marsh. 
Then two downy woodpeckers began to call and 
®hase each other before going to roost. The notes 
they gave were much like those of the flicker but 
Were not so clear. They were like tswy tswy re¬ 
peated rapidly. They gave quee quee also . This 
Performance was repeated twice and was probably 
c &Uaed by the breeding instinct.

This morning as I went by the Lyon’s bridge on 
10 I saw a pied-billed grebe. It was sitting 
° n the bank and when the train came along jumped 
1 hto the water and swam rapidly towards the middle 
°f the river. It did not look very big. It made 
a ^sep wave as it swam though its body showed no 
Muscular movement. The train passed before I could 
See whether it dove or not. On shore it sat nearly 
t-pright and walked with a waddle. 
October 30, 1901 - V/ednesday . 
This morning as I went to 3araboo on Ho. 8 I 
8a w a number of crows in Voecks.pasture. They were 
°h a fresh fall growth of grass. They were all 
afr aid of the train except one. He sat in the 
S^&ss and watched it go by. He was crouched down 
^ e ady to start in an instant and looked at it fear- 
hlly. The others flew to a freshly plowed strip 
j 1 the next field and lit again. There v/ere about 
u of them. Vilien they lit they let their feet hang 
j? SOme cases and sailed for about 20 feet before 
Shting. Only a few did this.
