SITUATION- 



This beautiful little bird 



was spotted onits nest about 12* from the 

 ground in the three-pronged fork of a young 

 Gum about 20' from a small stream in fairly 

 open terrain. 



The nest was an exquisite crea- 

 tion of soft, silvery plant fibers interwoven 

 with grasses and thin, light grapevine bark. 

 The lining was fine plant down, thin grasses 

 and a few hairs. 



The four fresh, oval, bluish 

 white eggs were spotted and lightly splashed 

 with shades of brown, light lavender and black 

 - especially around the larger end. 



Three- quarters of a mile from V.E.S. 



Near Lynchburg, Va.
