29 June 23 Mica shed her seventh skin today. One of her hind pair legs does not seem to be just right since she shed her skin, though it is functional. She had not eaten for several days, but we were not expecting a change of"skin". June 24 Frank brought home from the office a little English sparrow which flew into the messenger room through a broken pane of glass. His mouth still has yellow corners, and he keeps spreading his half-grown tail in a conceited fashion of his own. We have put perches in a waste-basket and turned it into a cage, and he is making himself very much at home. June 25 dickcissel brown thrasher field sparrow red-eyed towhee Baltimore oriole catbird cowbird chickadee indigo bunting yellow-billed cuckoo rose-breasted grosbeak red-headed woodpecker wood thrush goldfinch bobwhite western yellowthroat flicker house wren orchard oriole kingbird yellow warbler bluejay wood pewee scarlet tanager Bell's vireo chimney swift dove downy woodpecker robin Frank and I went to the Poor Farm woods. The nest of the catbird which we photographed had been destroyed, as well as the one in the thicket by the roadside. The wood pewee's nest which we watched building was also empty, and the eggs had efidently been taken, as we found a bit of cotton under the tree. Found a nest of the rose-breasted grosbeak with very young birds in an oak about ten feet from the ground. Nest of yellow warbler, two feet from the ground in Indian currant bush, with four young.
