Watsonville-Santa Cruz Co. Notes on Observations of years Previous to 1894. (Upper End of Payaro Valley.) Found a nest of the Spurred Towhee on the ground in the river bed under some willow trees. The nest contained three eggs of the Towhee and two of the Valley Partridge. Found a nest of the Calif. Thrasher and afterwards took a set of three eggs. After a week or so I was passing by a Valley rail flew from the nest and upon investigation it was found to contain five eggs of the Partridge. Two nests of Mourning Dove were found upon the ground; nests in trees were very abundant. One nest of the Western Yellow- throat was found in a wheat field
