built about four inches above the ground between the stalks of

This morning I visited the Maryland Yellowthroat ' s nest 
and found that two of the eggs had hatched. The young were 
about as small as I can imagine a bird to be.

This afternoon I again visited the Yellowthroat 1 s nest 
and found the third egg hatched. The three young are all 
right.

This afternoon a visit to the Maryland Yellowthroat 1 s 
nest found the young ones quite well feathered and nearly 
filling the nest. 
I stroked the head of one of them.
