young ones in nest for Eleblaw. The performances of the parent birds were interesting to watch, the contest between their fear of us and their desire to feed their young was so manifest. After a half-hours waiting with my camera in readiness, I got the male at the entrance to the nest with his bill full of crane flies. More than once we saw the male transfer to the female crane flies which he had caught. After dinner I was out in the cause for about two hours with Eck & Dr. We went to an islet near the Estero tupies and I took photos of nest and three eggs geider duck and nest and one egg of the tern. The former is made of down but the latter is a mere depression in the gravel. Both are exposed.
