Blackpoll Warbler. Crown black, underparts 
whitish, streak across breast and sides 
streaked with black, cheeks white under side 
tail, white V of black on throat, tsik sic 
sic sic sic rising and then falling. The song 
was very thin and wiry. The bird stopped work 
and lifted up its head to sing. It was quite 
leisurely in its movement but did not stay in 
one tree long.

Tonight after school Jock Pfannstiehl and I 
found a sharp-shinned hawksnest. It was in an 
oak about 50 feet up. The nest was a little 
larger than a peck measure and was made roughly 
though compactly made. It contained to large 
bluish white eggs spotted about the large end 
with rufous. There were a number of crows 
around and they acted so much excited that I 
thought it was their nest. They flew around 
over me all the time and cawed loudly. The 
hawk went by once flying like a streak. 
Y/oods near Cemetery in Baraboo - 4:50 p.m.

This noon it was rather chilly. Saw a male 
r obin taking a sunbath in True’s yard. He was 
stretched right out on his side and had his 
feathers puffed up. When I stopped to look at 
him he immediately stood up and then flew. 
True’s Yard in Baraboo - 12:15 m.
