14 his assistant, Mr. Ed Wallace, had brought in from Childs' Point two young barred owls. They are beautiful little fellows, on display in the window. May 8 Bell's vireo and kingbird for the house list. We have talked over the photographic possibilities of Mr. Wallace's owls, and at noon today went to see if we could get them. He readily consented to let us take them home. We will get them on the evening of the 10th and keep them until the photographs are taken and the plates developed-a thing we learned when we let the yellow-billed cuckoo go last year. May 9 On the way home from the office this evening I heard, near the lower or Harney Street end of our home lot, the sparrow with the "zee-zee-zee" note which has bothered us lately, and which only on the 7th we placed as the clay-colored sparrow. One may know intimately a bird by sight, or may well know characteristic notes of a bird unseen; but it takes time and experience to correlate. This is exemplified by the clay-colored sparrow, with whose appearance we were familiar, but whose voice, never before heard, led us a merry chase. May 10 Just as I was ready to start down town this morning, on opening the screen door into the bird-room for some last-minute errand, Philip and Origold darted out, and had to be chased well over the first-floor rooms before capture.
