squawking with nothing near the nest. Finally
I put the mile in the vines by the nest,
hoping to get sounds as she fed them. She
was almost ready to approach (I was 12ft
away) when outside noise became
unbearable. Twice while hopping around
nest she went to ground & gathered more
or replaced food she had. When I was
done, put all equip. away, she fed them,
gathered food close by, fed again in
about a minute. I sat by spying. &
fed again in a few minutes, after some
hedging. I never saw her remove a peal
see. Age of young birds 4 or 5 days.
Barrow lane, across Old Bldg. Nest A -
took eggs from nest #, put in nest 2,
