on this side (the side we were on) the 

 bank sloped gently to the waters edge, 

 but on the other side was a very high 

 bank. My companion broaght his shot 

 gun to his shoulder to shoot, but I stop- 

 ped him and shot my rifle at it at long 

 range; but of course, missed. On watch- 

 ing the bird I was surprised to see two 

 birds fly up, one from a nest I had over- 

 looked and the other, the one I had shot 

 at. I swam across but couldn't make 

 the bank and had to come back. Then 

 we went up stream about half a mile 

 farther and got across, we got several 

 nests on the way up, but none of much 

 value. VVJ1311 we got back to the Crow's 

 nest, I went up with the aid of my 

 climbers. It was situated about three- 

 fourths of the way up and out a ways on 

 a limb. The nest was made of sticks, 

 and a few leaves loosely woven together. 

 The nest was fourteen inches across and 

 contained four eggs of a greenish color, 

 streaked and spotted with brownish- 

 green. They measured about 2.18x1.14.
