This morning I was down in the v/oods near 
the fair grounds. It had rained a little 
in the night. The morning doves were 
mating. One sailed over with decurved 
wings for a distance and then flew a little 
ways with a quick flapping flight. Then 
it sailed again and tipping first one way 
and then the other lit in a tree where it 
gave the song. 
A little later I saw another queer thing. 
One lit on a small limb and was quickly 
pursued by another which lit by it and 
forced it to fly. It then lit again when 
the same thing happened. I judged them 
both to be males jealous of each other. I 
heard two sing from that direction and 
thus judged their sex. After being 
11 _ 
chased away the last time the first one 
—i Askt flew away with a curious flapping stilted 
flight with loudly whistling wings. After 
that it sailed and lit in the same tree 
that the first one described did.

This afternoon I went home on the two 
o’clock train. Saw the female robin who 
has her nest in front of the school house, 
carrying mud from the river for it. 
She did not take very much and seemed 
in no hurry to get there with it for she 
lit in the trees and staid for sometime.
