8 again. This behavior seems strange, for her cup was full and she could have helped herself at any minute. April 13 Nova again needed helped with her cup, and revived when given water. She eats in a natural way. It seems strange that after so many months of acquaintance with her cage she should suddenly lose her senses and come near perishing with water in the usual place. April 14 robin flicker bluejay chipping sparrow chickadee slate-colored junco tree sparrow screech owl downy woodpecker crow Oregon junco The weather was clear, still, and cool, and at 5:30 we visited Hanscom Park. Our little friend the screech owl was in one of the trees, and although Frank told me about where he was it was minutes before I could find him, so closely did he resemble the broken and dead branch on which he perched. For the first time I heard his pretty trill; and if he has no other note than that, his name is a misnomer. April 16 chipping sparrow flicker brown creeper crow chickadee downy woodpecker goldfinch slate-colored junco bluejay robin golden-crowned kinglet red-bellied woodpecker About 11 o'clock went to Hanscom Park for a couple of hours. While we were trying our best tactics on a squirrel, to see if we could get near enough to get a creditable picture of him, we suddenly realized that the tree contained something rarer than the squirrel: - the red-bellied woodpecker. I had seen a bird of this species only once before, and he gave us a good chance to get acquainted.
