10 On the trip we saw our little friend the savannah sparrow, which puzzled us last spring. A pair of them were picking up nesting material, but seemed to have no plans for using it, and probably were not in earnest. But the special feature of the day to me was viewing a bird not before known - the killdeer. April 28 bank swallow yellow-headed blackbird red-winged blackbird We heard that the yellow-headed blackbirds were in the bottomlands around Cut-off Lake, and after business hours Father, Frank and I went over there to get a look at them. At just about the place that had been designated we found them, and heard them sing. The yellow of the head is much brighter than I had anticipated. The red-wings were in the same flock. May 1 bluejay slate-colored junco brown thrasher song sparrow robin clay-colored sparrow red-eyed towhee cowbird flicker chimney swift red-headed woodpecker purple martin mourning dove kingbird bluebird rose-breasted grosbeak cowbird barn swallow chipping sparrow Went at 5:30 p.m. to Hanscom Park. It was clear and cool, with a slight breeze. A family of young squirrels with their funny stubby noses was in the trees. The spong sparrows were singing. May 2 Frank saw the first Baltimore oriole. May 3 Several orioles today.
