1944 May 19. At dawn a Grosbeak sang and sang. Two (or more ?) thrushes whistled, all varieties of notes but I heard only song at a distance. When the grosbeak stopped I could hear the Tolmie W., Nut. W., W. Fly. Wrentit in distance, and a Song Sparrow occasionally near by. No Spotted Towhee, but B. Towhee chirping. A Pileated Woodpecker began and then a Ulysses Wren at first not close, then near box - combined with the squeakily Teasing notes. After perhaps ten minutes the calls of the young were clearer and when I got up the brood was just beyond the bird pool. 8:30 a.m. I can hear a Sp. Towhee across Morewood Rd. May 20. Beautiful day.
