THE OOLOGIST

was a Black and White Warbler. I 

 returned to the bushes where she got 

 up and easily found the nest which 

 contained four eggs, far advanced in 

 incubation. I could not save them, 

 although I very much wanted them 

 for my collection; they being the only 

 ones I had ever found. The nest was 

 composed of dead leaves, grass, bark, 

 strips from the inner bark, rootlets, 

 and lined with hair, nicely made, arch- 

 ed over, snugly placed among the 

 stems of a small bunch of hazel bush- 

 es. The eggs were white or creamy 

 white, thickly marked with chestnut 

 and lavender in varying shades. I 

 think they hatched without mishap.
