84 maple in the yard. [[line]] After breakfast Edmund Dibble came and we went over towards Marshall Ave. I showed him a male yellow-throated Vireo which was a new species to him. In a small marsh was a single pair of Red winged Blackbirds. They had a nest. Saw a few Mourning Dove and Red-headed Woodpeckers. Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were tolerably common. In a little hill a couple of rods from a house. He showed me a Quail's nest [[end page]] [[start page]] 85 with 15 eggs in it. The old let us approach to within 10 feet before she left the nest. Then Edmund went away and I walked down to the Mississippi. Saw a pair of Kingbirds carrying material to a nest in a little elm. Saw 2 [strikethrough]me[/strikethrough] Western Meadowlark. The song was so entirely different that I did not know what it was. Saw some Wood Thrushes. By the river I saw a Crested Flycatcher on a dead limb. The woods was a heavily timbered bottom like those at home. Redstarts and Least Flycatchers were common.
