767, eggs (6) ; Truckee Bottom, May 29, 1868. Nest in willows on river-bank. 



[The nest is in every instance " domed," the real nest being inclosed in an 

 immeiKse thorny covering, by which it is generally far exceeded in bulk. In the side 

 of this covering is a winding passage leading into the nest. The [)urpose of this can- 

 opy is possibly to conceal the very long tail of the bird, which, if exposed, would 

 endanger its safety.]
