 (Spizella pisilla) ** 



DATE - May 25, 193^ 

 NO. - 



INCUBATION - 1/6 



0.70 x 0.52 0.69 x 0.52 



SIZES - 0 . 6? x 0.51 0.68 x 0.51 



SITUATION - The nest of this bird was 

 placed about 2' from the ground in a small 

 Hawthorne in a field near Lynchburg, Va. It 

 was against the trunk and supprted by three 

 small limbs and was composed of grasses and 

 weed st ems, rather bulky, and was lined with 

 finer grasses and horsehair. The four oval 

 pale bluish white, slightly glossy eggs were 

 spotted and dotted, occasionally with small 

 blotches of reddish brown, more numerous at 

 the larger end - tho* not truly wreathed. On 

 blowing these eggs subsequently, I found they 

 were incubated slightly.
