BLUEBIRD. 



'Slay 21st I found a nest with one Itlue egg in an old and partially hol- 

 low ti'ee. It was in a cavity on the east side about ten inches from the 

 opening. The nest was lined with fine feathers, but in pulling off the bark 

 much of the loose, decayed stuff fell into the nest. May 23, the nest has 

 been robbed and the lining ijullcd out.
