This morning after breakfast I went down in the fields. Near the river a Phoebe was flycatching along a fence. It flew along in front for a ways and finally I shot it. Near Seeley's March I flushed a bunch of nearly grown Quail. They came up with a great racket and I dropped one. There were a number of Bobolinks in the marsh and Song Sparrow were scattered all through a weedy field. Tonight about 10:45 I heard several Black-billed Cuckoos flying over. they gave the characteristic [[underlined]] Cluck-uk [[/underlined]].
