April 26, Sunday.

This morning I started for the Hemlocks but only got as far as Dickie's pasture as I was sick. A line of Great Blue Heron tracks extended along through the mud for quite a distance in front of the Hemlocks on the North side of the river.

A Hairy Woodpecker was making a nest across the river.

The Chicadee's nest appeared to have been abandoned.
