BIRD WITHOUT A NEsT.-The term night
hawk is commonly applied to several species, all
of which have certain peculiarities. From its Gu.
rious cry one is called chuck-wilrs- this
call being uttered loudly by the bird that it
has been heard for nearly mile. About the mid
die of March they come back from their winter
pilgrimage; and, unlike most of the birds they
have no housekeeping to keep them busy, as they
build no nests. While the robins, humming birds.
thrushes and others are busily securing the coun-
try for material with which to build their nurse
ries, the chrck-wils-widow is fast asleep in some
ont of-the-way corner, only coming out in the at.
ternoon snd evening to gather it's supply of food
When the time comes for laying this seemingly
lazy bird selects some secluded spot and deposits
her eggs anywhere on the ground and the very
first glimpse. if we are fortunate in finding them
at all, explains why she builds no nest The eggs
are almost the exact color of the surroundings.
and so notified and tinted that only by the merest
accident sre they discovered and when the two
little chuck-will's widows fually come out they
