Sandpit on East s't. in Baraboo 8:07 a.m. 
This morning was up by the sandpit 
on East street. Two sharp shinned 
hawks flew over going northeast. 
They flew like pigeons and went very 
fast. They were probably making for 
the Wisconsin Kiver. The bluejays 
were much excited. At first I thought 
they were pigeons hawks but had noticed 
the bars on the breast instead of 
stripes. They were the first I had seen 
this year. The flight was direct. They 
were long, slender trim built birds. 
Evidently made for speed and had long 
tails which were kept closed.

Tuttles Orchard in Baraboo 8:03 a. m. 
This morning I was up by Tuttles orchard. 
It was warm and sunny. Heard a male 
bluebird singing beautifully. A female 
probably its mate flew out of the orchard 
where it had been looking for a nesting 
site. It was quite tame.

East of Tuttles in Baraboo 8:10 a.m. 
This morning I was over back on Tuttles 
while going along the road I thought I 
heard a song sparrow sing and soon I heard 
it several times, ibut did not have time 
to look it up. It was the cheeriest 
kind of a song and brought up rememorances 
of summer. It was the first I had heard 
this year.
