Woods near Fair Grounds in Baraboo 7:55 a.m. 
This morning 1 was down in the wocds near 
the fair grounds. There were quite a few 
bluejays here. One gave a note like per-lert 
or klu. The first two notes were given as~~ 
the head and body were raised and the last 
two as they were lowered. It seemed to be 
an alarm note. The English sparrows near by 
seemed to be alarmed by it. Saw one tried 
to pick small limbs from a tree for a nest.

Elm in Front of High School in Baraboo 
3:15 p.m. 
This afternoon while reciting Latin I saw 
a robin light in an elm outside the open 
window. It was a female. She opened her 
mouth angrily, crouched and gave a rapid 
note of anger like skeep steep ske he he he . 
Immediately the male dashed up and flew at 
her. They had a rough and tumble fight 
until she fled. Then my eye caught a newly 
begun nest on a limb a few feet off and in 
a minute the female came back bringing a 
beak full of grass. She lit on the nest and 
deposited her load to her satisfaction. Then 
she began to burrow in the mass of' grass
