EXTRACTS FROM OUR MAIL BAG, 



I found the nest of a bird built on the ground in a clover field. The 

 eggs were white with dark red spots thickest on the larger end. The 

 bird was very brave, remaining on her nest until I put my hand within 

 about one foot of her. She was lighter colored than an English Spar- 

 row and had yellow streaks over her eyes. The nest was small, made 

 of fine grasses and sunken into the ground. I also found a Marsh 

 Wren's nest in a swamp. It had no visible opening in it, and was bound 

 to the swamp grass. Paul C. Ravlin, LaPorte City, la.
