flaps and then drew them up. It flew 
over behind a hill and little on the 
ground. It may have been hunting for 
a nesting place.

By R. h. Bridge - 9:00 a.m. 
This morning I went up by the railroad 
bridge. It was warm and sunny. Saw a 
song sparrow chasing another and watch¬ 
ed them. It was a male trying to win a 
mate but she fled from his attentions. 
She would light on a stick and then fly 
just before he lit and thus they kept it 
up. I watched them 15 minutes and they 
were at it when I left. Occasionally the 
male stopped to sing and she answered 
with another song. I did not know that 
the females sang before. She kept up a 
sharp tsit all the while.

Field N.E. of Conrad Agerers 10:15 a.m. 
This morning after breakfast 1 was up in a 
field below Conrad Agerers. Saw a male 
prairie horned lark sitting on a rail fence. 
He kept up a continued call all the time 
which was answered from the ground in 
front of him. I went up there and both 
flew away. They seemed very anxious and 
were back again when I returned. There 
was a nest there somewhere probably. I 
looked but could not find it.
