is a "magi" nest. Found nest of G. fortis.
Jan 22 - spent the A.M. near Wilson's looking at
birds. Found several Camarhynchus parvulus; most
have a "chip chip chip" song with the cadence (but with
echo) of the Wilson Warbler. Saw a 84 plus a flock of Geospiza
magnirostris and found the nest of the pair. Just poked around
the station a little in the afternoon. Entomologists very
busy collecting bugs in the evening. Besides species mentioned
