# The Condor/Volume 1/Number 1/Nesting of the Santa Cruz Jay

Nesting of the Santa Cruz Jay.
ON the 30th day of April, 1897, I was landed on the west end of Santa Cruz Island and for five days busied myself in collecting and caring for the few species of birds found within a few miles of camp. I had been hoping to find the Santa Cruz Jay nesting, but until the forenoon of the 8th of May not a bird had been seen. On that day, after a long walk up the bottom of a canon, the first Jay was seen perched on a dead willow stump a short distance ahead, and was at once laid away in my basket out of the hot sun. A 20 minutes’ search among the bushes and small trees nearby revealed a nest in the thick top of a scrubby oak, on the steep side hill and on a level with my eyes. A careful approach showed the female on the nest where she remained until my hand was but inches from her. She then flew to a tree forty yards off, from which she too was laid away with her mate.
The nest contained two eggs and was the counterpart of a California Jay's nest, being composed principally of oak twigs and lined with rootlets. The next day, after a long steep climb over rough hills, a second nest was found near the bottom of a rocky canon in a tangle of bushes. The birds were heard calling on the hill above the nest, which, after a short search, was located. It was similar in construction to the first and contained three eggs. A half mile farther down the canon another nest was found near the end of an oak limb, fifteen feet from the ground and contained two young birds. The location, material and size of this nest was very similar to that of the Blue-fronted Jay in Santa Clara County, Cal., so much so in fact, that I had to tear it slightly to make sure there was no mud in it. The birds were absent when I climbed out to it, and I thought it possible that the Blue-fronted might occur on the Island.

# The Condor/Volume 1/Number 1/Protective Coloration

Protective Coloration.
At the time of my visit to San Jose del Cabo, Lower California, May 1, nearly all of the plants were in foliage. There are two shrubs, however, Erythrina corallodendron and Fonquieria spinosa, whose red flowers come out before the leaves. The resemblance of these flowers to a red bird was marked and several times I started, from a distance of seventy-five or one hundred yards, to carefully approach a bunch of scarlet flowers in hopes of destroying a Cardinalis or Pyrrhuloxia. I also made the error of taking blossoms for birds and believe this instance of protective coloration is worth bringing to notice, though I am unsettled as to which is protected. R. C. McGregor, U. S. Fish Hatchery, Battle Creek, Cal.
At the recent Congress of the A. O. U. in Washington, D.C., the song of the Brown Thrasher was reproduced through the graphophone. Mr. Barlow is in receipt of several graphopnone records from Lieut. Jno. W. Daniel Jr., of Lynchburg, Va., which were made by Lieut. Daniel in Washington, and which quote some interesting portions of the A. O. U. programme and other matters of ornithological interest. These were reproduced at the meeting of the Northern Division of the Cooper Club, January 7.
# The Condor/Volume 1/Number 1/Two Albinos from Los Angeles, Cal.

Two Albinos from Los Angeles, Cal.
Carpodacus mexicanus frontalis—On Oct. 14, 1898, I secured an albino House Finch from a large flock of the same species. The head, neck and body of this bird are of almost snowy whiteness. On the wings, two primaries, two secondaries and most of the greater and lesser wing coverts are white; the remainder of the wing feathers are normal. The pattern of coloration on the wings is exactly similar. The tail is normal, with the exception of one of the middle feathers, which has a white tip and has a peculiar shriveled appearance. The bill was white, rather bluish toward the tip; the feet, pale flesh color, and the legs a trifle darker; iris, brown. On dissection it proved to be an adult female.
Zonotrichia leucophrys intermedia. On Dec. 18, 1898, Mr. O. W. Howard brought me several birds he had secured the same day, and among them, an albino Intermediate Sparrow. It was an immature bird, but the sex was indistinguishable, the sexual organs being destroyed by the shot. It is of a dull, smoky white all over except on the top of the head, where traces of the brown crown are apparent. Traces of the white tips are visible on the greater wing coverts, which are a trifle darker than the rest of the wing. The iris was brown.H. S. Swarth, Los Angeles, Cal.

Revelation through Joseph Smith, Far West, Missouri, July 8, 1838. History of the Church 3:44.
$^1$ Verily, thus saith the Lord, the time is now come, that it shall be disposed of by a council, composed of the First Presidency of my Church, and of the bishop and his council, and by my high council; and by mine own voice unto them, saith the Lord. Even so. Amen.
# The Doctrine and Covenants/Section 122

The word of the Lord to Joseph Smith while a prisoner in the jail at Liberty, Missouri, March 1839. History of the Church 3:300-301.
$^1$ The ends of the earth shall inquire after thy name, and fools shall have thee in derision, and hell shall rage against thee;
$^2$ While the pure in heart, and the wise, and the noble, and the virtuous, shall seek counsel, and authority, and blessings constantly from under thy hand.
$^3$ And thy people shall never be turned against thee by the testimony of traitors.
$^4$ And although their influence shall cast thee into trouble, and into bars and walls, thou shalt be had in honor; and but for a small moment and thy voice shall be more terrible in the midst of thine enemies than the fierce lion, because of thy righteousness; and thy God shall stand by thee forever and ever.
$^5$ If thou art called to pass through tribulation; if thou art in perils among false brethren; if thou art in perils among robbers; if thou art in perils by land or by sea;
$^6$ If thou art accused with all manner of false accusations; if thine enemies fall upon thee; if they tear thee from the society of thy father and mother and brethren and sisters; and if with a drawn sword thine enemies tear thee from the bosom of thy wife, and of thine offspring, and thine elder son, although but six years of age, shall cling to thy garments, and shall say, My father, my father, why can't you stay with us? O, my father, what are the men going to do with you? and if then he shall be thrust from thee by the sword, and thou be dragged to prison, and thine enemies prowl around thee like wolves for the blood of the lamb;
$^7$ And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.
$^8$ The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?
$^9$ Therefore, hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known, and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever.

Revelation to Joseph Smith, Spring Hill, Daviess County, Missouri, May 19, 1838. History of the Church 3:35.

# The Doctrine and Covenants/Section 12

Revelation through Joseph Smith to Joseph Knight, Sr., Harmony, Pennsylvania, May 1829. History of the Church 1:47-48.
$^1$ A great and marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.
$^2$ Behold, I am God; give heed to my word, which is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of both joints and marrow; therefore, give heed unto my word.
$^3$ Behold, the field is white already to harvest; therefore, whoso desireth to reap let him thrust in his sickle with his might, and reap while the day lasts, that he may treasure up for his soul everlasting salvation in the kingdom of God.
$^4$ Yea, whosoever will thrust in his sickle and reap, the same is called of God.
$^5$ Therefore, if you will ask of me you shall receive; if you will knock it shall be opened unto you.
$^6$ Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and seek to bring forth and establish the cause of Zion.
$^7$ Behold, I speak unto you, and also to all those who have desires to bring forth and establish this work;
$^8$ And no one can assist in this work except he shall be humble and full of love, having faith, hope, and charity, being temperate in all things, whatsoever shall be entrusted to his care.
$^9$ Behold, I am the light and the life of the world, that speak these words, therefore give heed with your might, and then you are called. Amen.
# The Doctrine and Covenants/Section 115

Revelation through Joseph Smith, Far West, Missouri, April 26, 1838. History of the Church 3:23-25.
$^1$ Verily thus saith the Lord unto you, my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and also my servant Sidney Rigdon, and also my servant Hyrum Smith, and your counselors who are and shall be appointed hereafter;
$^2$ And also unto you, my servant Edward Partridge, and his counselors;
$^3$ And also unto my faithful servants who are of the high council of my church in Zion, for thus it shall be called, and unto all the elders and people of my Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, scattered abroad in all the world;
$^4$ For thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
$^5$ Verily I say unto you all: Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations;
$^6$ And that the gathering together upon the land of Zion, and upon her stakes, may be for a defense, and for a refuge from the storm, and from wrath when it shall be poured out without mixture upon the whole earth.
$^7$ Let the city, Far West, be a holy and consecrated land unto me; and it shall be called most holy, for the ground upon which thou standest is holy.
$^8$ Therefore, I command you to build a house unto me, for the gathering together of my saints, that they may worship me.
$^9$ And let there be a beginning of this work, and a foundation, and a preparatory work, this following summer;
$^{10}$ And let the beginning be made on the fourth day of July next; and from that time forth let my people labor diligently to build a house unto my name;
$^{11}$ And in one year from this day let them re-commence laying the foundation of my house.
$^{12}$ Thus let them from that time forth labor diligently until it shall be finished, from the corner stone thereof unto the top thereof, until there shall not anything remain that is not finished.
$^{13}$ Verily I say unto you, let not my servant Joseph, neither my servant Sidney, neither my servant Hyrum, get in debt any more for the building of a house unto my name;
$^{14}$ But let a house be built unto my name according to the pattern which I will show unto them.
$^{15}$ And if my people build it not according to the pattern which I shall show unto their presidency, I will not accept it at their hands.
$^{16}$ But if my people do build it according to the pattern which I shall show unto their presidency, even my servant Joseph and his counselors, then I will accept it at the hands of my people.
$^{17}$ And again, verily I say unto you, it is my will that the city of Far West should be built up speedily by the gathering of my saints;
$^{18}$ And also that other places should be appointed for stakes in the regions round about, as they shall be manifested unto my servant Joseph, from time to time.
$^{19}$ For behold, I will be with him, and I will sanctify him before the people; for unto him have I given the keys of this kingdom and ministry. Even so. Amen.

Revelation through Joseph Smith, Far West, Missouri, July 8, 1838. History of the Church 3:45-46.
$^1$ Verily thus saith the Lord unto my servant William Marks, and also unto my servant Newel K. Whitney, let them settle up their business speedily and journey from the land of Kirtland, before I, the Lord, send again the snows upon the earth.
$^2$ Let them awake, and arise, and come forth, and not tarry, for I, the Lord, command it.
$^3$ Therefore, if they tarry it shall not be well with them.
$^4$ Let them repent of all their sins, and of all their covetous desires, before me, saith the Lord; for what is property unto me? saith the Lord.
$^5$ Let the properties of Kirtland be turned out for debts, saith the Lord. Let them go, saith the Lord, and whatsoever remaineth, let it remain in your hands, saith the Lord.
$^6$ For have I not the fowls of heaven, and also the fish of the sea, and the beasts of the mountains? Have I not made the earth? Do I not hold the destinies of all the armies of the nations of the earth?
$^7$ Therefore, will I not make solitary places to bud and to blossom, and to bring forth in abundance? saith the Lord.
$^8$ Is there not room enough on the mountains of Adam-ondi-Ahman, and on the plains of Olaha Shinehah, or the land where Adam dwelt, that you should covet that which is but the drop, and neglect the more weighty matters?
$^9$ Therefore, come up hither unto the land of my people, even Zion.
$^{10}$ Let my servant William Marks be faithful over a few things, and he shall be a ruler over many. Let him preside in the midst of my people in the city of Far West, and let him be blessed with the blessings of my people.
$^{11}$ Let my servant Newel K. Whitney be ashamed of the Nicolaitane band and of all their secret abominations, and of all his littleness of soul before me, saith the Lord, and come up to the land of Adam-ondi-Ahman, and be a bishop unto my people, saith the Lord, not in name but in deed, saith the Lord.
$^{12}$ And again, I say unto you, I remember my servant Oliver Granger; behold, verily I say unto him that his name shall be had in sacred remembrance from generation to generation, forever and ever, saith the Lord.
$^{13}$ Therefore, let him contend earnestly for the redemption of the First Presidency of my Church, saith the Lord; and when he falls he shall rise again, for his sacrifice shall be more sacred unto me than his increase, saith the Lord.
$^{14}$ Therefore, let him come up hither speedily, unto the land of Zion; and in the due time he shall be made a merchant unto my name, saith the Lord, for the benefit of my people.
$^{15}$ Therefore let no man despise my servant Oliver Granger, but let the blessings of my people be on him forever and ever.
$^{16}$ And again, verily I say unto you, let all my servants in the land of Kirtland remember the Lord their God, and mine house also, to keep and preserve it holy, and to overthrow the moneychangers in mine own due time, saith the Lord. Even so. Amen.

$^4$ And next spring let them depart to go over the great waters, and there promulgate my gospel, the fulness thereof, and bear record of my name.
$^5$ Let them take leave of my saints in the city of Far West, on the twenty-sixth day of April next, on the building-spot of my house, saith the Lord.

$^2$ For the building of mine house, and for the laying of the foundation of Zion and for the priesthood, and for the debts of the Presidency of my Church.
$^3$ And this shall be the beginning of the tithing of my people.
$^4$ And after that, those who have thus been tithed shall pay one-tenth of all their interest annually; and this shall be a standing law unto them forever, for my holy priesthood, saith the Lord.
$^5$ Verily I say unto you, it shall come to pass that all those who gather unto the land of Zion shall be tithed of their surplus properties, and shall observe this law, or they shall not be found worthy to abide among you.
$^6$ And I say unto you, if my people observe not this law, to keep it holy, and by this law sanctify the land of Zion unto me, that my statutes and my judgments may be kept thereon, that it may be most holy, behold, verily I say unto you, it shall not be a land of Zion unto you.

Patten, that he settle up all his business as soon as he possibly can, and make a disposition of his merchandise, that he may perform a mission unto me next spring, in company with others, even twelve including himself, to testify of my name and bear glad tidings unto all the world.
$^2$ For verily thus saith the Lord, that inasmuch as there are those among you who deny my name, others shall be planted in their stead and receive their bishopric. Amen.
