Between Baraboo end. North Freedom 
about 8:00 a.m. 
This morning mother and 1 drove to 
Baraboo. Vesper sparrows were very thick. 
They sat on posts and on the trees all 
along. They flew up in considerable 
numbers from the road in front of the 
horse. I probably saw from 150 to 250 in 
all. They sang with great vigor, ’iihen in 
trees the tail hung straight down. Saw one 
flutter its wings with raised tails as 
described before.

Wear Rob dickies - 7:30a. m. 
This morning mother and 1 drove to 
Baraboo. A male meadowlark lit on a post 
by the road. lie looked very big beside 
his mate on the next post, but it was 
probably because he puffed his breast out. 
The female called a little anxiously but 
did not seem afraid. He turned his 
breast towards and sang with an open bill 
that looked like a pair of shears.

Wear Slicker Place -7:45 a.m. 
This morning mother and I drove to Baraboo. 
Crows were quite thick. Saw two chasing 
each other in play high in the air. Saw 
many in the fields gathering sticks and 
straws. One held something under its foot 
and picked at it with all the force it 
could master but was so far off I could 
not see what it was.
