. Nests and eggs of North American birds [microform]. Ornithology; Birds; Ornithologie; Oiseaux. 404 NB8T8 AND E0G8 OF. 697, Blue Grosbeak. Texas, it commences to build about the first part of May. Mr. T. D. Perry has found eggs as early as May 10, slightly incubated, near Savannah, Georgia, and fresh eggs as late as July 7, indicating that at least two broods are reared in a season. The nest resembles that of the Painted Bunting, being invariably lined with fine brown rootlets, and occasion- ally it contains some horse hair. A characteristic of the Blue Grosbeak's nest is that it almost invariably con- tains pieces of snakeskin in the outer material of withered leaves and plants. It is placed in blackberry bushes along road-sides and on the border of woods. Mr, J. A, Singley, of Giddings, Texas, says that in Lee county a favorite nesting place is in the vicinity of houses where the first growth of timber has been cut down and a growth of low thick bushes replaces it. He says he has taken the nest In peach, apple, hickory and post-oak trees, ranging from fifteen to thirty feet. Mr. E. C. Davis states that in Cooke county, Texas, this species usually nests in alder bushes in swcmpy places. The eggs are three or four in number, plain light blue, and when exposed to light a little while, fade into dull white; oval in shape and average .84X.66 inches. On the 24th of May, 1887, Mr, Perry i'ound a nest containing four spotted eggs of this species. They were distinctly marked with dots and spots of chestnut and subdued lilac. One of the eggs was accidentally broken; the remaining three measure , 87x.63, , 82x, 62, , 82x.62 respectively. 597o. WESTEBN BLUE GROSBEAK. Guiraca cwrulea eurhyncha Couee. Geog. Dist.—Southwestern United States, from South Dakota, Colorado, Southern Utah, Southern Nevada and California to Lower California and Southern Mexico.
