mony offered by our observers. Previous to 
that time, Mr. F. II. Carpenter, of Kehoboth, 
found two nests of the bird in Swansea, (0. & 
0., Vol. 8, No. 8). The first nest was found 
April 18, 1880, in an old Crow’s nest, which a 
pair of Squirrels had piled with fine grass and 
leaves. It contained four eggs, measuring an 
average of 1.35x1.22 inches. Another nest 
was found near the locality of the first one. 
It contained three eggs, which were not taken. 
Incubation was found to occupy twenty-six 
days from the date of finding the nest and one 
of the young was taken and kept in . confine- 
ment by Mr. Carpenter, in whose possession I 
have frequently seen it. 
The latter nest was an old habitation of the 
| Coopers’ Hawk, The eggs were, pure white in 
! color and, as will be seen by the measurements, 
are nearly globular in shape.
