BLUEBIRD 



March 2, 1893 

 March 5, 1894 



THE pair that built in my box in 1893 

 raised two broods. In 1894 they 

 began building. May 3d, 1895, I have 

 seen no sign of a bluebird up to this time 

 May 13 and no one else has seen one 

 here either. It is most remarkable. May 

 28, still no bluebirds. July 14, heard one 

 warble today, the first one of the season. 

 The latter part of July, 1895, I saw a 

 family of six birds. September, 1895, I 

 heard one warble, the first one observed 

 near our house this year, the others were 

 seen on drives.
