"I could see one young bird near the top of an oak tree and could hear several others. One bird had its head out of box. The two parents were herding together the ones that had flown from the box and the tree was suddenly alive with birds. The Japanese boy came out to hang up the last of the clothes. One parent went off with the young, down to N.W. trio oaks, the other parent following. Finally the last young one flew across to the railing, rested a few minutes then flew into oak to East. A Blue jay came to tree over-gou- tain, spied the young bird and flew toward it. The little bird darted from it to a gap between the tops of the oak trees to the north of the porch, the Blue jay in close pursuit. I clapped my hands; one of the parent birds appeared and dashed at the jay and the young bird escaped. A few minutes later, at 16:15 I looked into the box and found it empty. There were a number of ants in the box and one crypt of experiment was attracting the flies. An Allen Hummer has two young in a nest on Mrs. Parson's house. Caught cat - foot - and kitten"
