and brought them to the ground
There were three of them, and also
an unferctile egg. The young birds,
which were apparently about a
week old, were banded with the
above numbers and replaced in
the nest.
On May 27th. visited the nest again with
Ethel Sumner. Birds were still in the nat;
seemed to be about a week old.
On the same day (27th.) drove around Rich-
mond, where acacia trees we planted,
with Ethel. We saw at least four
more grown mockingbirds (6 grown ones in all
today, and perhaps more). On Barrett are.
between 25th. and 26th. St. me found
another nest with three young in it.
This mat was only about eight feet
above the sidewalk, and could be fairly
seen from below. These young were,
apparently, about two days old.
On May 29th. I went again, with
Mary Erickson, to find the birds, but
someone had pulled down the nest and
the birds were gone.
