Wren were common. Saw a nest in a Woodpecker hole. It contained young. A well trodden path ran along the river. I was glad to get into Heavy wooded bottoms again. On summit the woods are oak. Here a queer wild reedy flutelike song coming apparently from nowhere. A repetition gave the direction but it always seemed to be the same distance away. Finally I saw the bird. The upperparts were olive brown. White line over eye, underparts white, streaked with black. It was the Wilson's Thrush.
