110 An old Red-head chased a young one around in a tree. Saw a Spotted Sandpiper. Following the river up I saw the family of Maryland Yellow throats in a potato field. Then I went home. August 6. Monday. This morning before breakfast I was up by Carpenters when I saw the young Yellow-bellied Woodpecker again. It was on a telephone post. It was trying to dig a [[end page]] [[start page]] 111 hole in it. It hit sideways and pulled but finally gave up in disgust. Then it flew over by Stienbrink's and lit on a Norway Spruce. It examined some old holes made for sap in an interested manner. Then I went home. --- August 9 Thursday.
