Apr 27 Sergeant I had a good time
up Sycamore today. Spent
all day & collected, R.R. Oak Goldf.
Oak, Thrasher, Least Oriole etc.
also spotted new-nested Can. Wren
and 2 nests Shw. Hawk, 2 eggs each with
green seta co-modifying 385+294a.
Came back via little Sycamore.
May 2 To the brook: found nests that were

but could not strike a happy
medium. Set 394a 4/5 & 529 1/4
3 Geo. & I spent the afternoon in dye.
Went to nest of Can. Wren, slipped
up quietly, put my hand over

over the nest, to catch the bird.

Didn't strike much ~

Sugar Loaf #1. Oak Can. got
