nest in a tangle of vines “by the track. There 
were 4 eggs in it. 
There were 4 eggs in the bluebirds nest. Then 
I went home. 
Clint Hanger and I went down to the young kill- 
deer. We stood still for some time. The mother 
came near and gave a callnote like tudle-eep. 
Then a young one ran across some mud it could run 
as fast as I. Finally it got in some tall grass 
and 1 caught it. As soon as I took it up it lay 
perfectly quiet. The old one fluttered almost at 
my feet. 
Then we went home. 
May 29, 1900 - Tuesday, 
This morning the female martin tried to carry 
Tong straws into the box several times. She 
would push and then go inside and reach out but 
it always dropped. 
Went flower picking tonight after school in T. 
Hackett's woods. Heard cuckoos on every side. 
Yellow-billed. Found a Indigo buntings nest. It 
was just started. The old ones were near and made 
a great fuss. Then I went home. 
After supper I went out,towards Donaghey’s on my 
wheel. Miss Donaghey had described the position of 
a quails nest to me. 
Put my wheel in the bushes and cut cross lots. 
Hunted around but could not find nest. Saw a wood 
pewee sing on the wing. It flew from one perch to 
another and just before it lit it gave a number of 
notes like pe-wee pe-wee . 
Saw the flight song of the Indigo bunting 
several times. A male would start out of a tree 
and go about 100 feet. Then pause on hovering 
wings and give about 3/4 of his song, finishing it 
°n the way down. Then I got my wheel and went 
Home.
