Streptopelia risoria. (Barbary Turtle Dove). May 11, 1908. The birds finally have deserted the egg, which I broke and found infertile. May 25, 1908. Bought three from Robison Bros. to-day, nos. 29, 39, and 31. Occasionally hear these birds cooing at night especially if it is moonlight. All coo, both males and females. May 30, 1908. I picked up an egg on the ground to-day and placed it in a nest. There are two birds incubat- ting it now. May 31, 1908. I broke the egg, mentioned above, this morning. This afternoon I found the bird sitting on a fresh egg. Another pair are nesting in a box on a post. June 5, 1908. No. 24, the bird I disposed of had the habit of sitting on the nest of Nos. 22 and 23, although both ofted drove it away. June 14, 1908.
