7 crow bluejay chickadee brown creeper red-headed woodpecker robin red-tailed hawk goldfinch white-rumped shrike wn. meadow lark prairie horned lark field sparrow slate-colored junco chipping sparrow tree sparrow flicker bluebird downy woodpecker acquainted with a white-rumped shrike. He was on a lead of telegraph wires, and it was his flight from point to point which particularly interested me. It is very distinctive. At the farm the tree sparrows, field sparrows, chipping sparrows, goldfinches, robins, and meadow larks were singing. April 10 Two male purple martins and one female appeared at the city hall today. The males are probably the ones that made the investigation four days ago. Both seem to be very devoted to the lady, and she seems impartial in her favors. They are paying particular attention to one nesting place, under the fourth floor windows. April 12 Nova's peculiar, shrunken appearance attracted our attention last night. We supposed she was about to shed her skin, but at bedtime she had not begun. This morning she was in a much worse condition, her feet curled under her. Thinking a little water might revive her I gave her some in a spoon. She began drinking, and improved perceptibly every minute. I left her at the edge of her cup, and in half an hour she was almost normal
