Near Spring on Water works Island In Baraboo  4.14 P.M.

April 23, 1902
This afternoon after school I was down on the water works island.  Near the spring I found a freshly completed Bluejays nest.  It was empty.
[[marginalia]] description of nest [[/marginalia]]  The foundation was of things which gave it a ragged appearance as they stuck out on all sides for a foot or more.  The interior was grass, hair from rabbit & feathers and was lined with fine brown roots.  It was about 5 feet up in the crotch where the first limbs started from the trunk.  It was in an elm.  The parents were absent.  Indeed I saw no Bluejays on the trip.
