April 11 - Both eggs were found missing in nest 53 on April 9. 
. The male has continued to stand by the nest site so egg No. 28 from 
nest 13 (popped) was placed in the nest. 
April 12 - Bonin found the egg 2 feet down the slope from the nest. 
He replaced it again but the male carefully picked it up and moored it 
out of the nest. The egg was again replaced and again removed . The 
chick was then replaced in nest 13 (after being renzoved from its shell) 
and was accepted. T1 1 inking that the fact that the egg was a d ipped 
one might have disturbed the bird, another was tried but it also 
was rejected. The nest is gradually becoming scattered and the bird 
will probably soon leave. 
Tlie chick from nest 1 lias been sitting about 2 feet up from the nest 
most of the time this week and now has a semblance of a nest on the new 
spot. 
Female No. 11 was present at the new nest 38, begun on the 3th 
or 9"kh. This bird was formerly from nest 9 end apparently has remated

since the male has no painted number. Nest 9 was deserted March 12

it 
the Subsequent desertion, or perhaps the male did nob return, for this 
/ 
or some other reason.
