10 THE AUDUBON “BULUVEGMiN 
In the nearby meadows were a number of meadow larks’ nests, but 
the tunnel approaches made the taking of pictures quite uncertain, and 
I did not attempt to take any. 
At each nest the wounded-bird ruse was used to lead me away from 
the nest. 
I checked all the nests up with the descriptions in our check list and 
found very little variation.

Cleverly Constructed Bird House 
ALTER E. HASTINGS, 2nd Vice-President, Michigan Au- 
dubon Society, South Lyon, Mich., sends a picture and 
description of a very cleverly constructed bird house. He 
writes: 
‘The house is a prize bird house, built by a Boy Scout and presented 
to me by the maker. It is really a bluebird house, and bluebirds 
occupied it until a pair of wrens made up their minds to take it over. 
Then the trouble began, and the bluebirds were ousted bag and bag- 
gage, eggs and all,
