At the Oconoluftee Ranger Station there were two phoebe nests con- 
taining well-feathered young. Although I watched quite a while there was 
no feeding of the young, nor did they show any restlessness. The old 
birds were around and catching insects. Perhaps they were afraid of me. 
There were also three robins’ nests here, but only the males were seen 
carrying nesting material. No females were seen, but a few days later 
there was an egg in one of the nests.
