California," at at least three concern- 

 ing this species: The breeding sea- 

 son is there set down at "April 15 to 

 July 1;" the eggs are give as 4 to 6, 

 and the olbviously erroneous state- 

 ment made that the nests are "not 

 over eight feet from the ground." The 

 average of more than one hundred 

 sets of Brewer's Blackbird collected 

 by me during the past twelve years 

 were in nests more than fifteen feet 

 from the ground. Many of them 

 were more than twenty feet up; sev- 

 eral above thirty feet and four or five 

 from nests in Eucalyptus trees forty 

 feet from the ground.
