SITUATION - This clutch of eggs was obtained 

 at Lynnhaven Inlet, Va. on the same day and 

 within 25 yards of the base of the tree in 

 which we obtained the Osprey eggs (which see). 

 The woods where these eggs were found consis- 

 ted mostly of Virgia'^Pines with some hardwoods 

 such as oak, intermingled. The nest of this 

 bird was a mere depression in the Pine needles 

 and was within two feet of the base of a large 

 Pine. We did not see the bird, but the two 

 fresh, elliptical, glossy cream colored eggs 

 were spotted and blotched with light shades of 

 brown and tan mixed with some lavender and 

 gray tones. The location and character of the 

 nest as well as the features and sizes of the 

 eggs are all typical of this bird.
