tail, black; line above eye, white; back, olive brown; crown blackish; wings barred with black and white. Its tail points nearly at the back of its head: crown and back streaked with black white and buff. One of its notes sounds like the [[underlined]] chuck [[/underlined]] of a small blackbird. It has a number of notes such as [[underlined]] tsa tsu, cuh cuh, chick spit tuck [[/underlined]] and [[underlined] kimp [[/underlined]]. The last two are very emphatic, the last being like that of a Long-Bill.

Its tail is at right angles to its back. It jerks it up and down and bobs at you, talking all the time. It is very inquisitive looking at you out of the weeds. It is a low ground bird, flying along with a rather bobby flight near the ground. Then after picking the stick tights of me I went home. 

Sept. 26, Tuesday. 

This morning there was a severe frost out as I went to the barn. I heard a Meadowlark sing.
