The first was in the top of an ash sapling . 
I climbed, the tree to look at the lower one. It 
was roofed over. 1 then shook the ash tree and 
- a bluejay flew about a foot above it. 1 think 
U'_(* and am very sure that the jay came out of it. It 
flew over and hid in a bunch of oak leaves. He 
thought that 1 could not see him. I approached 
and itt.de sure that it was a blue jay. Then I 
climbed the thornapple tree for the nest. It was 
about a foot and 3 inches each way and was hollov,' 
in the center. It was about 5 inches wide. It 
was made of fine shreds of bark, grasses and 
shreds of weeds. I took it down and home with me. 
The entrance hole was 1-3/4 inches wide. Then I 
went home. 
March 19, 1900 - Monday . 
Tonight after school 1 sewed the main part 
of the nest onto the foundation that I had saved 
with black thread, ^'he foundation was mixed with 
Ffeh the branches so that I only got part of it. 
1 ^ It consisted of bark, grass, leaves and fine 
weather beaten strips of bark. 
The upper 1 part was bark, leaves and grass. 
It was finer than that in the foundation. It was 
put together 1 compactly and would keep out the wind. 
The outside measurements were as follows: 
length, 9 inches, width, 7-l/2 inches, height 
6-1/2 inches, width of wall at top l-l/2 inches, at

were missing.
