I could not help recalling my experience of 
the year before, and the resolve that I made 
when I reached the ground after climbing to 
this same nest, that if ever a Hawk or any 
other bird had its nest in another tree like 
that it would not be molested by me. But this 
was something new to me. I had never seen a 
Barred Owl’s nest before and had no set of 
their eggs in my collection, so I wished to get 
them very much. I tried to persuade my 
friend, Mr. L — , to try his hand at this one, 
but he would not be persuaded; so I finally 
decided to make one more attempt myself, 
but must own up beaten, for after getting over 
half way up my courage gave out and I had to 
come down again. So we were obliged to 
leave her, with this faint hope that next 
year she would take up her abode in a more 
respectable tree.
