(To be concluded.) A Strange Nesting Site of Calypte anna. .! * R. W. Lee Chambers of Santa Monica has sent us photographs showing a very strange nest- ing site of the Anna hum- mingbird. Mr. Chambers writes: "I aln enclosing a couple ot photographs of an Anna hummingbird's nest built on a telegraph pole in the busiest street oi Santa Mon- ica. It is built over a nest of last year. and the illustra- tions show its situation. The construction is as usual: i.e., spider-web chiefly, covered on the outside with bits of moss, and lined with an un- usual amount of white feath- ers. In fact the nest was so filled with feathers that I could hardly take the eggs out for fear of crushing them. The incubation was well advanced; date March 3 x, x9o3."
