West Va April 29 - 1874 3 Parns Cor, 2 Sparus nov? 1 Lo. Picorn 16 Cardinlis, Sciures norbracensis is quite abundant along the creek. I in notes R.C. was exactly as at then. The Johnny is honors I think a little peculiar. T. Cassulla has a harsh dispiny note and I heard a boy for some time in a broken warbling. I think practicing Strass, Thy, Indorice is very tame fun, reminds me of J. Cardin, in fact in motions I can see no difference: A few on hop into a robins nest with egg (found them nests of that bird) when the owner appeared and Chrysothemus beat a hasty flight; he has a most singular indescribable chip, very loud. Heard Virio Sotarius singing. Heard at least a dozen different J. Corolinensis cooing. Its commences with a high note with rising inflection then low low low is almost exactly like the first two notes of Bubo Vir: the bird while thus employed usually sits on the top of a dead tree. I watched six of them feeding together on the ground; they run over quicker than the domestic pigeon but otherwise resemble them; or throwing they can hardly be distinguished from Sc. omig. Thought lay egg. Found a nest of Parns Cor, but could not think to it. Have heard only two protects. The passerine chip noted last nights I am allusion in field.
