- May 13- There has been a storm on for the last three days. On May 9 me took a ♀ nest and 7 fresh eggs of the Western Golden Crowne d Kringlet. Mr. Littlejohn found the nest about 10 days ago when we were looking for a Townsend sparrow nest. The nest was almost over the water at high tide. It was placed on the south side of a fir tree about 12 ft up. The nest was semi-pensile and was composed of green moss and was lined & with feathers, some of which were evidently from a crossbill. The nest was compact and was higher than wide and was very artfully concealed. The parents were not at all solicitous about their nest and would scarcely come near. The eggs are perhaps a little smaller than a bushtit and longer drawn out. Toward the middle they are encircled with a wreath of fine golden specks. The ground color was a creamy white. Dissection showed that the ♀ had finished her set.
