outside is lined with dried bents and hairs. The eggs (creamy white, with a few light pinky-brown spots) are 

 rather elongated, measuring O8o by 0'62 inch; interior diameter of nest 2"25 inches by 1'5." 



Mr. Hume, generalizing, says, " The eggs are sparingly marked, usually chiefly at the larger end, with 

 spots, specks, small blotches, hair-lines, or hieroglyphic-like figures, which are typically almost black, but 

 which, on some eggs, are blackish (or even reddish) or purplish brown." The average size of a dozen is 

 0-86 inch by 06 inch.
