July 17 Again today we ran on to a Goshawk in the same grove of trees and shot him down. It was an unusually small male half way into full adult plumage. Dad shot a very small Horned Owl no larger than a Long-eared owl. The owl was eating grasshoppers entirely and was down in a low tree wide awake in broad daylight. The hawk had been eating birds some time back but nothing the present day, as yet. Dad's Dad also got a male Hummer which looks much like Xantus that we got on the Island. We saw several Nuthatch both large and small. The large bird has a different note sounding more like a dog bark. The nuthats was [illegible] feeding on seeds, of caterpillar insects seemed to be their diet. I got a female of the Open even Dad shot at a couple of Bob whites. The Bob white was seen at some distance perched in a tree, whistling.
