her wings. As the [sic] left, in a hurry, the positions
of some of the eggs changed; one egg was thrown
up the side of the nest a bit. Set taken, 1/9 [See p. 2507].
As previously stated (p. 2481) the nest is on a log,
this being old and rotten, flattish on top, even
lengthwise hollow or depressed at the point
where the nest is. In this longitudinal
groove (as it were) is an accumulation of bits
of rotten wood, old cone scales, and brown dry
last-year's ceanothus leaves. The "nest" is a
saucer-shaped depression in this mixture of
debris, about 150 mm. across (measured) by
35 mm. deep. About a dozen feathers of the quail
enter into the "lining." The whole site is
well concealed and protected by the flattened,
thorny branches and dead twiggery of the snow-brush
which sprawls over the log from the south side.
A heavy clump of young firs grows 25 feet to
the south and west and serves to shade the
place most of the afternoon

Ruby-crowned Kinglet's nest: rim 5180 mm.
above ground; in young white fir, 10 inches in diameter
3 ft. from ground; nesting, with practically no attachment
on flat mass of fir bough - stem, ^^live twigs and needles
beneath. Bough, from bole of tree, slightly drooping,
towards southwest - sunny exposure. Nest out on
bough 960 mm. from bole, in from extreme end of
bough 880 mm. Could be seen from ground only
