This afternoon I was down by the water 
works dam. A male na rsh hawk sailed 
over about 100 feet up. This is as hand¬ 
some and graceful a bird as we have here. 
When the wind struck it with greater force 
it decurved its wings to keep balanced. 
The set of its wings reminded me of a 
cupid*s bow. It went against the wind. 
Birds near did not seem frightened by 
its presence. It turned its head under 
to look dovm.

Near Spring on Water' V/orkds Island in 
Baraboo 4s14 p.m. 
This afternoon after school I was down 
on the water works island. Near the 
spring I found a freshly completed blue- 
jays nest. It was empty. The foundation 
flescrip - was of twigs v/hich gave it a ragged 
nest appearance as they stuck out on all 
sides for a foot or more. The interior 
was grass, hair from rabbits and 
feathers and was lined with fine brown 
roots. It was about 5 feet up in the 
crotch where the first limbs started 
from the trunk. It was in an elm. 
The parents were absent. Indeed I saw 
no bluejays on the trip.
