©be Warbler 13 



Sora. None seen, but a beautiful nest with ten eggs taken on the 29th. 



Swallow, Bank. Fairly abundant. Some large colonies observed nest- 

 ing in the high clay banks. Six fresh eggs taken on the 28th. 



Swallow, Barn. Nesting at the Ranch. 



Swallow, Cliff. Only seen once. 



Sparrow, English. One or two visited our camp at the forks. They 

 were also nesting in the lower part of the Krider's Hawk's nest at the forks, 

 many miles from any habitation. Nesting, also, at the Ranch. Incidentally 

 I observed several pairs nesting in washouts in a perpendicular clay bank 

 near Omaha. 



Sparrow, Grasshopper. The most abundant bird throughout the Sand 

 Hills. Its diminutive song could be heard at all times and on all sides. 

 Only nests in course of construction wsre found.

 near Thedford on the 30th.

Towhee. Abundant, and nesting. 



Thrasher, Olive-backed. Seen and heard singing several times. 



Thrush, Brown. Fairly abundant, and nesting. 



•Robin. Only one seen. 



Vulture, Turkey. Observed several times. An evident nesting site 

 was found on a cliff. It contained one wing feather, the corresponding 

 feather being missing on the wing of an agitated Vulture in the 'air above 

 us. A fertile mind might make out of this a pretty story of a Vulture select- 

 ing a nesting site and placing therein a quill as evidence of possession. 



Vireo, Wabling. Abundant. 



Vireo, Red-eyed. Only a few seen.
