such as: in a rock wall, a pile of boxes, under a tile on the roof and behind a housing placed around the trunk of an oak tree to keep it from being barked by motor-trucks during the construction of the house). 12:15 P.M. No notes taken since 9:40. At 12:15 Green-eyes went up to the nest and took over incubation--a matter of seconds only to make the shift.
