Woods near fair grounds in Baraboo 7;40 a.m. 
This morning I was down in the woods near 
the fair grounds. Saw two field sparrows. 
They w ere males. One had a fine song. It 
was like wheur wheur wheur wheur wheur 
trew trew trew trew trew tr-r-r-r- ru. 
One was hunting on the ground in a plowed 
field. It was quite deliberate in its 
motions and wa3 very tame. It sang from 
the ground, while singing it did not give 
its whole attention to the song but look¬ 
ed around for food.

Woods near fair grounds in Baraboo 7:50 a.m. 
This morning I was down in the woods near 
the fair grounds. Bluebirds were very 
thick. They were mostly mated and kept in 
pairs. They flew to the ground after 
insects. The males sailed a great deal 
*while flying. Heard one give his song 
separated like wheur dearie wheur. 
One male paid some attention to one of the 
females and another came up and they fought 
about it savagely chasing each other and 
rolling and tumbling in the air.

Near creamery in Baraboo - 7:45 a.m. 
This morning I saw the chipping sparrows 
for the first time this year. There were 
three of them near the creamery, all males. 
I had an opportunity of comparing the song 
with that of the junco. The juncos 
trill was more metallic and not£ so insect 
like and the notes were more separate.
