5.
June 21 2 min S, 5 1/2 mi E Detroit, 2000 ft. Marion G. O-?on another appeared in a nearby tree, set chirping "peant".
8334 Got it too. This area is adjoinant to the road, which
is right by the N. Section Pile. It extends for about
1/2 mile along the road, somewhat less into the hills.
A cross section would
appear like this:
forest
After taking these 4 birds in rapid succession,
half an hour or so, most of the area is quiet, but I
can hear one, perhaps 2 birds singing at the other end
of the area. It is quite windy here.
Heard
another bird sing -- ???. There are 2
distinct song types here. As I neared the West of
this area, I could see that the topo sheet shows it
very well, and that the above profile, drawn for the
N-S axis, fits equally well for the E-W axis.
(Will City quad, USGS, 1929).
June 22 This morning at 0730 I can hear 2 birds singing --
both have a song as the last described above -- ???,
except that one adds a trill -- ?? - ----. But
this last bird (835) sometimes leaves the trill off his song.
On my way up the hill I flushed a ? from the same
nest as yesterday, so it wasn't her that I got second yest-
erday. Couldn't get her now, either. Saw a bird with what
seemed like a mouthful of insects. As soon as I got her, another
(836-837)
began to "peant" right there -- am sure those are mates.
Can see and hear another bird singing -- ?? - ?,
the basic song with one additional note.
