Saw a few Spotted Sandpipers. One adult and a young one not quite grown flew up at short intervals for quite a distance.  Their notes differed slightly in tone.

Across the track in a very bushy pasture I saw three Black-billed Cuckoos. Two were eating large green worms. One gave a note like [[underlined]] cluck-uk [[/underlined]] several times. They were quite tame.

There were quite a few Chewinks here. One had two songs and used either indefinitely. 

In a pasture on my way home I noted two Red-headed Woodpeckers feeding along a fence. Now they spread out to good feeding grounds wherever they ^[[are]] found. a few coming into town every year. These two adults had a fine location on a breezy little hill with a fence running along the crest.
