March 17 - Arrived at nest of no 5 at 8:45. Birds first appeared at 8:05 when one bird sneaked out along limbs coming from 3 side of nest & the nest - the bill & head were duffed into nest - a couple of quick thrusts and then the bird saw me as I was unfortunatly close. It paused several seconds - then worked on nest for 2 minutes limbs - then at the top - then joined by mate. A bottle washed my fracture below judging to this. The mate joined. The building bird looked to be the lighter of the two She left after two minutes down stream & east. Other bird soon showed a flicker out of the nest Too. - disappeared under tree. In about 2 min. came up well soaked from bathing and flirted and died. - furred yet. Left by 8:15. At 8:30 Durnet & nest - a wisp of white car hair (body) 2" across 1/2 at structure was broke in bottom of nest - evidently left their become of my frame & would normally have been worked in. A little had been added to lining since yesterday but not more than 3 or 4 loads at
