Friday May 20. Out in woods early all the AM and part of PM. and took quite a large number of birds, among them a series of Painted Langsper- A small flock was found in the field below the Fork and by following them around and hunting them carefully I took 10. They fly in a loose flock and not as flock as the Lapland long. Sprigs, and are harder to see on the ground, as they creeed very stealthily among the grass. They did not usually fly low when disturbed: I heard their characteristic note only a few times. A meadow Lark was taken- It was unknown to all the inhabitants of the place, and is probably only a Strayler. Also saw a house wren but was unable to secure M. and Rene. Franco & Ricio (Pankleman) out. Saturday May 21. Rain fell most of the afternoon. Several birds were recorded, and made up and I partially finished repairing my canoe. In the evening I packed up a portion of my Writers collection. The weather has been calmer as the rain comes from the N. and East. Sunday May 22. Took no birds but noted a number including some arrivals Calypso bulbosa in flower, also white flowered Riber and winter currant growing on the roads. Violet (blue) first noted along a creek, as are white violet. Monday May 23. Was out at 5 AM. and though Today was cold and windy managed to secure a number of desirable birds. Found a small flock of Golden Plovers in the field back of Fork and Secured too. In the evening after supper went out on the river with Fred Cunwill securing a number much ice, broodily from 1 Lake Of ducks, more coming down the Meadowgl
