thetically watched from first to last, and there 
was no tragedy. 
A Norway maple on the south side of West- 
ern avenue, below West Lawrence street, was a 
nest rendezvous for two families of robins, two 
orioles and a red-eyed vireo. Two families in 
one tree and with other birds is quite unusual. 
“They'll come again to the apple tree — 
Robin and all the rest — 
When the orchard branches are fair to see, 
In the snow of blossoms drest; 
And the prettiest thing in the world will be 
The building of the nest.” 
October 28, 1911.
