40 July 22 Our little birds are growing rapidly; their tails have lengthened considerably. The grosbeaks today made the first effort we have heard to warble. It was not much like the grosbeak song to which we are accustomed, though the notes were soft and sweet. July 23 One of the orioles gave a call quite like that of the mature bird. We hope this indicates that we have a male. The birds have learned to bathe, taking a morning bath almost daily frequently one in the evening. bobwhite Baltimore oriole dickcissel red-eyed towhee yellow warbler brown thrasher Bell's vireo goldfinch yellow-billed cuckoo robin wood thrush red-headed woodpecker downy woodpecker western yellowthroat catbird chimney swift flicker bluejay wood pewee rose-breasted grosbeak dove At about four o'clockFrank and I went to the Poor Farm woods. The day was very warm in the city, but fairly comfortable in the woods. A nest of dove - two eggs. In a part of the wood which we seldom explore, a nest of dove with very young birds. Across the road from where the nest of wood pewee was destroyed there is another nest, about completed, probably built by the same pair. July 30 The little box tortoise has seemed for two or three weeks to be in a sort of stupor, awakening with difficulty. He drinks freely, but eats little.
