NOTES ON THE BEEEDING HABITS OF CLARKE’S CROW 
{PIGICORVUS COLUMBIANUS), WITH AN ACCOUNT OF 
ITS NEST AND EGGS. 
BY CAPTAIN CHARLES BENDIRE, U. S. A. 
[The following account of the breeding habits, nests, and eggs of Clarke’s 
Crow is based on observations made the present year in the vicinity of Camp 
Harney, Oregon, by Captain Bendire, and is compiled, with his permission, 
from his letters addressed to the writer. The only previous account of the 
nest and eggs of Clarke’s Crow seems to be that given by Mr. J. K. Lord (in 
his “ Naturalist in Vancouver ”), who found this species nesting near Fort Col- 
ville, in Washington Territory, in the top of a high pine, two hundred feet 
from the ground. — J. A. Allen.] 
On April 22, 1876, I succeeded in finding two nests of Clarke’s 
Crow. One contained three young, possibly four days old ; the 
other, one young bird and two eggs, one of the latter already 
cracked. The nests were placed in pine trees. On the 27th I 
again visited the mountains, and made thorough search near where 
the first nests were found, and discovered another in which the 
young could not have been more than one day old. One of the 
nests discovered on the first visit I brought away in excellent 
order. It was placed on the extremity of a branch, on a pine 
(Finns ponder osa), about twenty-five feet from the ground, and well 
protected from view by longer branches projecting both above and 
below the nest. It is a bulky affair, like all the others I have 
seen, but looks quite small as viewed from below. The nest proper 
rested on a platform of small sticks of the white sage, placed on the 
pine branches, and is composed of dry grasses, vegetable fibres and
