calberti in a small willow thicket. The
nest, containing three small birds
about 2 weeks old, was about 8 ft. from

against the trunk. The nest was quite
shallow and the mother bird could
be seen on the nest before she flew,
when an approach of 3 or 4 ft. Saw
several pairs of Tanivireo solitarius cassini
were seen among the willows. One pair
of Myiarchus cinerascens c. was seen
in a willow thicket. A small wood-
specker probably a Calyptorhynchus,
along
the river bank were numerous Agelaius
phoenicea Sonoriensis and Tyramnis
verticalis. One pair of Zenaidaura
macoura m. was seen. The region worked
is flat overflow land of the Hardy
River dotted with scattered willows
willow clumps and small draws
filled with arrowweed. Along the
bank some willows grow together
with from a bamboo-like plant
and a deciduous plant that bears
a oval sharp burr.
