3'2 Bird Studies. 



The birds nest on the ground, generally in marshes or damp meadows, 

 but sometimes in dry fields. From three to six dull bluish white, unmarked 

 eggs are laid. They are about an inch and four fifths long and an inch and 

 two fifths broad. 



The birds are found in North America at large, and breed throughout 

 their range. They occur from the South Atlantic and Gulf States south to 

 the Isthmus of Panama.
