over by Mrs. Pettey’s house. Thought that I 
heard a young bluejay calling. From over in J. 
Hackett’s grove the song of the wood thrush came. 
I heard it till nearly 8 o’clock. 
The male martin had decided to make the best 
of a bad thing and is getting another mate. This 
noon he came circling around calling and went 
into the box. Then he put his head out and call¬ 
ed and a female lit on the perch and went inside. 
Tonight Jim Seeley and 1 were in swimming by 
Hacketts. Went back through the woods. Found 
another rose-breasted grosbeak’s nest. 1 shook 
the limb quite hard but the male who was on it 
did not leave. 
The other nests were empty. The young having 
probably left. Saw a brown thrasher in a 
thicket. It flew av/ay when I peeped in. In the 
lower part of Fisk’s meadow I saw a young meadow¬ 
lark. It was wild and could fly well. 
That catbirds nest was robbed. 
June 8, 1900 - Friday . 
This noon I saw a female English sparrow by 
Carpenter’s with no tail. 
June 9, 1900 - Saturday . 
Tonight Hichard Engelmann showed me an Indigo 
bunting’s nest on the island. It was about 3-l/2 
feet from the ground and contained 4 eggs. They 
were bluish white. The female was very sly. 
June 11, 1900 - Monday . 
Was sick made a ‘list "of "the birds seen and 
heard in the afternoon from the yard and on a 
short walk to the pasture.
