Cogswell 1950 Myadestes townsendi 4 July 31 (cont.) on previous visits. Aug.1 Still with 1 young + 3 eggs in nest. The sitting adult gave a momentary, somewhat questionable diversionary display from its first perch after flushing — the end of a log about 20 ft. from nest. The display, as it were, consisted merely of half- spread, drooping wings and a dragging slightly spread tail (showing white border) as it hopped 2 or 3 times & then flew on. Aug.2 Still (!!!) with 1 young + 3 eggs in nest, the young now being either 2 or 3 days old. adult sitting on heat when we arrived. [Aug.3] observations by 4 Audubon campers is appended, still the 1 young + 3 eggs. Something probably for added must be wrong; i.e. the eggs sterile (because of disturbances we caused? — if this is so, the bird or its embryos are easily disturbed). [Aug.5] Mr. R. P. Hays reports the nest still in same condition, the young now being 5 or 6 days old. Aug.6 at dusk today I found the nest abandoned. The young one was dead & I collected it as an alcoholic specimen (my catalog #149); it was either 6 or 7 days old. The three eggs were each broken into, apparently by a bird's bill (the Solitaire's?).
