Watsonville - Calif. Notes taken near lower end of Pajaro Valley before -1894. During the first part of June I found a nest of the California Wren. It was a frail structure of coarse willow twigs and was quite thin. In general appear- ance resembling the nests of the Californian Thrasher but was not as substantial. It was on a willow tree about twelve feet from the ground. Birds quite tame. In the first part of May if I remember the time rightly I found a nest of the Littlecut Warbler situated on the ground under some trailing vines of the wild blackberry. The situation was damp and shady. I had seen the bird fly from the nesting place about a week before but was unable to discern or the nest; it being well concealed.
