we located a Ani nest with
one egg in a wide spreading
low tree. The nest was of
sticks well lined with leaves.
Both birds were present. In
the Palm tree there was
a Ani nest with 7 eggs
which I collected. The object
was like the other. The
eggs are stone gray. The
Munting nest in the palm
is just building.

went out hunting Seed Eater
nests but was unsuccessful.

Paraguetes. They were in
a tall tree in a small
flock. They are rather wild
and do a great deal
of flying about. They
look like Sandpipers
in flight and talk as
much as geese.
There are many of the
small blackbirds around
of which I collected a or
two yesterday. She was ready
