of the cuckoo I heard
Several times It is one
I have heard several times
before and been puzzled
by it.
I had flushed a yellowthroat
from its nest with
4 piped eggs. The spots
on the eggs were almost
faded out. The set also
seemed unusually large.
Near by I found a set
of Iowa Dove (see date).
And up on the ridge
shot a nice red Breany
Owl -- mistaking it for
a Robin thru the bushes.
Also came on a pair of
small Mot-horts
squealing and chattering --
The first stage I have
seen them flying
around together.
In skimming the cuckoo
I noticed it had a fractured
aspect like the Motnot
thique.
You telephoned today and
said everything was OK
and we had better come
in got and go with him's
for Elmer Bunn.
