"along as smart as you please. I filed at me and when I clumb" the dam to see if I had tickled him any I found two lying in the water. I soon secured these, by means of a Bumpball, and as it was now raining "Pitch forks and Niger Babies" I hauled into the culvert. Why did I shoot the Curles? Oh! for Greens, besides, I have been reading "anatomy of Bird Song" and wanted another hackea, pesthous, topusana Septum &c. (do you agree) as well as a few Hyaids. As the culvert was not particularly comfortable I soon pulled out for home, when the rain saw me coming he slackted up a little till I reached home at 10.30, well pleased with my little chumps and the avian life I had observed which included the following species: Savornins Saya Geothlypis l. occidentalis -♂. Fulica americana Zenaida macroura ♂ Turdus m. propinquus Pipilo fuscus crissalis Melospiza f. heermannii Lanius lud. gambeli. Carpodacus frontalis ♂-♀) S. nigricans Stalia mexicana Colaptes cafer Zonotrichia intermedia Junco hyemalis thurberi Sturnella magna neglecta. (♂) Spinus -?- full plumage ♂ & ♀. (Either S.t. pallidus or S. psaltria).
