Unusual Black Phoebe Nest.-In La Habra Heights, Los Angeles County, California, on March 26, 1941, a search for a nest of the Black Phoebe (Sayornis nigricans) under an old wooden bridge proved successful. Several old nests were found plastered onto vertical sides of the bridge. The occupied mud nest, however, was circular and was fastened onto a length of bailing wire dangling from an overhead support, as shown in the accompanying figure.-RAY QUIGLEY, JR., Whittier, California, February 28, 1953.
