1894.
July 25 I witnessed a fracas in an apricot
Tree between two 5's and a yg. & House
Trick. A 5 bullocki was near but took
no part in the proceedings. After
considerable fuss and noise on the
part of the Orioles, the limit fell to
the ground. On picking it up I found
that it was headless, the head having been
completely severed near the body. The
Oriole then left. Cause - probably apricots.
