I discovered three nests of the Western Yellowthroaton May 8 in a patch of rushes, overgrown with wilIows.Two were deserted and the third, which was quite large and elaborateIy constructed of dead bIades of cat-tails and sparsely Iined with the Iong hair of cattle, was thrust sideways, by a cow perhaps, and contained four fresh eggs, two of which were sIightly damaged.In about one-half of the completed nests of PiIeolated WarbIer I have found, the bird has deserted her nest and the immediate premises.On April 30, 1899, Mr. Harry SheIdon and I were colIecting along a creek when he made the unusua1 find of a nest and fizle eggs of the Russet-backed Thrush, which I secured.-11.A.
