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.
