Only nest was found which was in the process of building and as yet had not received the lining. Another nest was found which contained 4 young well advanced toward maturity. Two old nest were also seen. The nesting sight was on the outer edges of the willows that grew were completely submerged by the lake. The nest was 3-5 ft above the water. The nests were of a semi pencil type of hung insecurely by the willow branches. The male made a big fuss when we approached.
