No. 9 Spent an hour some near Mt. Tournants where the canal crosses the road. Bright and sunny and lots of birds. 3 or 4 Snakes were squawking around and me Spn. Hawk was ok, while Some Partridge call from the bottoms and a cardinal is heard in the hedge. Then a Robin flys by and soon the trees are full of them and the later mediates warble forth their song, from some thicket and the Crow and Flickers call from the bottoms. Then a flock of Bluebirds fly past and a Meadowlark sings when a couple of Towhees spot in sight them dive in the top of young gum tree and a Junco flys into that bush. At the same time a Goldfinch is heard and a Dark Spn. is seen. As we leave we observe a Rock Wren and Shrike as well as Say's Black Pewee making 19 varieties. What a difference from the one taken at Paris!
