Thursday May 17. To Fort Foote McBride and I went on the usual Spring Bird census. Met him at Wisconsin & Main Ave. at 3:20 and we drove downtown near Fort Foote Md. Parked at a truck garden worked by a man named Humphrey. The day was cloudy until noon and partly so afternoon. We found almost no migrants, and made my a poor record, about 65 species. After we had about hunted the county we drove across to near Silver Lake, Ind., where Mac had found a large number of Pink Lady Slippers. We found a good quantity in pine woods on either side of US Ford.
