116 around picking up grasshoppers. For the first time I now saw a Mourning Dove sitting on a wire near him. It sat perfectly still for a long time. Redheads were very thick across the river. They drummed, called and chased each other around as though it was spring. Saw a number of Bobolinks and red wings in the marsh. One Bobolink gave such a queer note that I did not recognize it at first. Jim and I went over to the Hemlock's. We sat down in the cave and I heard a curious whistling [[?cluck]] coming from a clump of elders about 40 feet off. It was a male ruffed grouse and soon after I saw him he flew.

They were eating grapes. A few of the Robins hunted on the ground. They were quite wild. It [[strikethrough]] dark [[/strikethrough]] was [[strikethrough]]] a [[/strikethrough]] dark and threatened rain. Saw some Red-eyed Vireo's. They were wild and gave a note like [[wavy underline]] tsip tseet [[/wavy underline]]. Went across the bridge and followed the river to the swimming hole. The cedar Waxwings were eating grapes. They gave beady notes like [[wavy underline]] tseep [[/wavy underline]].
