Notes from Ventura County, California

On May 12, 1910, Sidney Peyton found a set of eggs of Anthony Green Heron (Butorides virescens anthonyi) in an old crow's nest in a swamp east of the Sespe River. It consisted of six considerably incubated eggs.

On October 23, 1910, I found a nest of the Green-backed Goldfinch (Astragalinus ps. hesperophilus) in a walnut tree near my home at Sespe. It contained four nearly grown young. They left the nest on October 29. Harold Pyle found a nest on October 26 which contained four young birds. They left the nest November 8.
