(71) sure enough, she was adding it to five or six other twigs already placed there. It is in a kangaroo thorn (Acacia armata) about 7 feet up and in plain view from the sidewalk. It will get all of the south wind there is and if I visit it frequently, it will be well advertised to the general public and to the small boy in particular. While outside the fence, this bank is a part of the property. I had intended to mark the individual eggs of the second batch, if any, to get a definite determination of the incubating period for each. Owing to the location of the nest, this may not be feasible. The birds showed no nesting activities yesterday and it is pretty certain that the present structure was started this morning. The last attempt to hatch the old eggs that was witnessed was yesterday morning at a little after 8. It will be seen that it did not take long to start all over again. (Looking out my bath room window early this morning, I saw a song sparrow carrying nesting material into a prostrate prostrate Juniper in the court. In the court now are three nests located roughly at the points of an equilateral triangle of about 20 foot sides, viz: Junco (On the ground), Plain Titmouse (In a house in an oak about 9 feet from the ground), Song Sparrow (In the flat Juniper practically on the ground. This about 8 feet from where I usually lunch out of doors. Yesterday I suspected it and looked through the Juniper, casually, but found nothing).(This is the first Song Sparrow nest I have found here). (I can stand at one point and see the simultaneously actions of these three kinds of birds going on within about ten feet of me. The linnets, whose nests I have never found here, are very much taken with the sunflower feeding station recently put up in the court. It is strange that so common a bird everywhere has appeared to avoid nesting here. I hope now
