light blue color as the other Blue Grosbeaks. The birds stayed in the trees near by. The male soon left but the female was almost continually absent. I believe this is the first set of this form. In the corn I ran into some of the Black and White Red Cats... There were a couple of meadow larks singing and I found a female - the first. The female was brooding and incubating. Very little was seen in the canyon other than a Fan-Tail Warbler. The warbler as is often the case was running over the rocks like a rock even except that they are of course in under the willow trees. Van shot a Tinamou that was running along the path ahead of him. It did not seem to be wild. This was a female but decidedly not brooding. Towards evening Dad and I went over to the Bonducat Blony. The number of nests had increased by four. There were many new and green Trees being used. The 5th were just being completed.
