Strong. 1920. Knojoix Valley. 126. Weeds Aug. 17. Got the cabin arranged in good shape. Compared to Nine Mile it is paradise personified, dry, warm, and with a good stove.

Shot a Sparrow Hawk, and a young Cedar Waxwing. Things in the bird line are greatly changed here.

Audubon Warblers have disappeared leaving Pileated, Magpiebrown and Magnolia Warblers in some numbers. Cedar and Plumonian Wax- wings are wandering around in small mixed flocks. Pine Siskins are numerous and in large flocks. Song Sparrows and Lincoln Finches are still here but deep hidden in the tall weeds. Redstarts are plainly migrating. There are mixed, wandering flocks of Chickadees, Ruby-throated Kneiflets and Warblers. There are many Sparrow Hawks, a few Sharpshins, about four Red Tails, one probable Rough Leg, a few Bald Eagles and a great number of Horned Owls. Saw several ducks apparently Mallards. On the bottom lands are many Savannah Sparrows and Maryland Yellowthroats; also saw two Upland Plover on the
