Nesting of Say’s Phoebe in California.
It may be interesting to report that on May 1, 1900 I collected a set of four eggs of Say’s Phoebe (Sayornis Saya) near this place, in which incubation was begun. The nest was fastened to the side of a cave and composed of dry grass plastered together with mud. Subsequently I collected two other sets of four eggs each, and Messrs. Morcom and Swarth of Los Angeles kindly assisted in the identification of the birds.
