Saw some young Red-eyed Vireos. They gave a note like [underlined] chee [/underlined]. This Vireos frequently lights on a branch and peer slowly around before moving on. This slowness easily marks them from the warblers. Hummingbirds were thick. I saw one buzzing from limb to limb of a tree as though looking for something and shot it. I was seated at the foot of a tree watching a Red squirrel tormenting a bat in a hole when I heard ones wings hum. I looked up and it flew down past my head halting a few feet away to see what I was. Several times I heard a Red-bellied Woodpecker call and finally saw it and shot it. It did not move around much and kept up in the tree-tops hidden by the leaves. Water thrushes were common and I shot a noveboracensis. On comparing it with others I found I had two specimens of S.n. notabilis secured [[strikethrough]] at [[/strikethrough]] in May. The difference was quite recognisable. The one I shot did not seem as restless as the [[?Conisiana]] and was tamer. Herb Parkhurst shot a Great Blue Heron or "Blue Crane" this afternoon and it was given to me. Saw Nighthawks today & yesterday.
