Corner of 7th and Oak in Baraboo  3:45 P.M.

April 22, 1902.
This morning I was over by True's.  
[[marginalia]] nest [[/marginalia]]  A pair of Flickers had started a nest in a tree on the corner.  It was cut into the live wood though the center may have been dead as there was a dead limb above it.
[[marginalia]] love note [[/marginalia]]  The birds sat crosswise on a limb above it and gave a love note like [[underlined]] qui' qui' qui'. [[/underlined]]  There was another half sound on the end like [[/underlined]] ick. [[/underlined]]  One was tame and let me pass under it while it was 5 feet above me but the other flew.  
[[marginalia]] height [[/marginalia]]  The nest hole is about 10 feet up.
