with only two days freedom each week. July 6 Went out with Mr Kitchin - to the swamp (the only one in West Fresh) and found several trails nests, all with fresh eggs or building but left them all. Found another set of pine fresh Warwing. The bird sat with lowered crest within 6 feet then flew a short distance showing more solicitude than the previous bird observed. The pair seem gluey together and both birds stayed about the nest. There was another pair building close by. Somehow I got an awful "kick" out of finding Warwings nests. Blew all eggs successfully and returned to camp. July 7 Was room orderly today so had to stay in quarters - and write letters.
