Field H.W. of ■‘'evil’s Lake 3 : 40 p.m. 
This afternoon I was out in a field near 
feeding the lake. Saw a pair of phoehe’s feed- 
ground ing along a brush covered fence, 80 or 
100 rods from any house. They were 
evidently mated. They were tame and 
allowed me to approach closely. Then 
they dipped down nearly to the ground, 
flew along it and rose up to another 
perch.

Hoags in Bar! boo 6:50 p. m. 
Tonight after supper I was out in front 
of the house. A flicker was pursuing his 
phasing mate through the trees. They twisted 
Jfete and turned in every direction. He con¬ 
j ee tinually gave a tree toad like kr-r-rk or 
ku-r-rruck almost exactly like that of a 
red-headed woodpecker.

Between Baraboo and Ho. Freedom about 
4:00 p.m. 
Going home tonight we drove. It was very 
windy and sand flew fast. Saw quite a 
number of vesper sparrows along the road. 
Reiter They kept very close and only flew short 
distances. They skulked behind banks and 
bushes and did not sing.
