A STRANGE SITE. 



There are eccentrics among birds as well as with 

 human beings and the pair of pigeons who built 

 this strangely situated nest weie fine specimens of 

 the type. A friend of mine writes, "My brother 

 and I occupy the same room and one morning we 

 were aroused by the cooing of two pigeons which 

 had flown into the bedroom through the open win- 

 dow. The birds soon collected material for build- 

 ing,, and in a couple of days had made a nest on 

 the dressing table. On the third day an egg was 

 laid and the birds began to sit; the cock by day 

 and the hen by night. The single egg was hatched 

 and the fledgling pigeon is getting along famously. 



Not the least remarkable fact is, that the dress- 

 ing table was in constant use during the time of 

 building and sitting".
