In Seeley's marsh were several tree 
sparrows. 1 did. not notice them until 
I sat down and then they hopped up in 
small willow hushes and called to each 
other for about five minutes. The note 
was a sibilant tsit . They did not seem 
to be afraid as long as I sat still. 
Another gave the silvery tinkling flock 
note like tse ool klit . It was very hard 
to describe. After a "little they went back 
to the ground to feed. While giving the 
flock note that one seemed somewhat excited. 
As soon as I got up to go on the warning 
tsit was heard and they all flew into the 
bushes. Two that I noticed in the same 
willow drooped the wings. The flight was 
tipping and they changed direction slightly 
every three strokes. The flight is exactly 
like that of a junco.

Corner of 2nd Ave. and Center St. 8:35 A.M. 
This morning when I went to school I saw an 
English sparrow in a small box elder with 
a large white feather in its bill. It work¬ 
ed it around by "chewing” it until it 
finally dropped it. It nearly caught it but 
the air whirled it away. It hopped along 
after it on the ground for six or eight 
feet. Another then took up the pursuit 
but soon abandoned it. It was a female.
