to the left of the road. At same place,
for first time, we got the song of the
wren-tit. From the porch of the first
univ. cottage, we saw a russet back
eating thimble berries. A song sparrow
was heard here.- Above Hog Serum Lab.-
a quail's nest containing one egg was found.
The nest was little more than a shallow
hole in the ground. The egg was white with
a few light brown splatched.
Above the upper univ. barns,
in a patch of thistles, a lazuli bun-
ting was seen and heard in perched
upon the top of a thistle-stalk.
A shrike was seen, at a distance on
a fence. Identified by its characteristic
bill and coloration. In same place, about
1/2 dozen linnets were seen on the
topmost board of the fence. Iden-
tified by the reddish coloration of
head, throat and breast. - A song
sparrow was observed perched
in the top of a buckeye tree.
