CATALOGUE OF EGGS COLLECTION OF F. H. FOWLER (cont'd) Number Cat. Set A.O.U. Name 344. 7-8. 475. Pica p. hudsonica. Apr. 14,1898. F.H. Fowler. Ft.Logan,Arap.Co.,Col. Both birds present. Fresh. When this nest was first found on the 9th, early in the morning, it contained 2 eggs, on the 14th 8 eggs; making probably one egg a day for 8 days. The nest is large and bulky, but well built. The entrance is very large - fully 1/4 the circumference of the nest. Nest cup shallow, 12 from base of tree; 50 feet from a much-used road, and in plain sight. While packing the eggs the male kept hopping around the female, shaking his half-open wings, and uttering a squeaky scolding noise in low tones. 345. 5-3. 3736. Megascops a. maxwelliae. Apr. 1898. F.H. Fowler. Ft.Logan,Arap.Co.,Col. Both parents were pulled out of the hole and flew in opposite directions, but neither went to hole No. 2, as they always have before. The three eggs were in different stages of incubation, the whites being from 1/4 liquid to the jelly- like stage. The hole was about 30" deep, and 7" in diam. In the bottom were a few feathers and some chips of rotten wood. 346. 7-4. Passer domesticus. Apr. 28,1898. F.H. Fowler. Ft.Logan,Arap.Co.,Col. On the morning of the 27th, I found 6 sparrows around the long coal bins going to roost behind the iron rollers on the tops of the sliding doors, and soon discovered some tell-tale straws protruding from the openings of some cliff-swallow nests under the eaves of the granary. On the evening of the 28th, I investigated these nests with the aid of ladder. Three nests were lined with straw and feathers, but only the one held eggs. Two females were scared from the nests. Several pairs came out last winter, probably in grain care, as they were first seen feeding on some spilled barley near the tracks. Now there are about 4 pairs here. These are the first ones noted here. (26)
