Glue extended, beyound the farthest twigs. 
He said that they built here last year. 
In the barns there must have been from 8 to 
a dozen barn swallow's nests. Cne had 1 young 
one in it. Roy called them blue-winged swallows. 
He said that 2 years ago one pair built in a 
wagon shed. 
Some cliff swallows had started their nests 
in the eaves. 
Heard the song of the grasshopper sparrow 
several times. 
Then I went home. 
About 5 tonight I rode south on my wheel. 
Pound a shrike's nest in an elm. It was(white 
rumped) lined with chicken feathers ani was 
full of insect debris. The old ones were feed¬ 
ing their young near. I saw 2 young ones. They 
were quite wild and were white-rumped shrikes. 
The black through the eye was noticeable. 
'./hen the old one flew towards it the young 
one would harshly call che che che and the old 
one answer kra kra kra. The young one kept on 
calling while eating. They were rather wild. 
The young could fly. 
Then 1 went home. 
Tonight after supper I went down in the 
fields. Below Hackeli,'s a pair of bobolinks 
acted as though I was near their nest. They had 
fully fledged young out. In the woods a red¬ 
start was leading her young about. She called 
sharply at me. 
There were several tanagers across the river. 
° aw a female hairy woodpecker feeding her young. 
They were very noisy. The nest was in a stub 
across the river. A wood pewee began his vesper 
song and did not pause for some time. 
Vent on up through the fields. In Hackett's 
cornfield saw a brood of young vesper sparrows. 
The old one gave an alarmnote like spit tuck. 
Then I went home.
