In front Of window where I worked
last summer was a butternut tree. A
humming bird built her nest ON a limb
that grew near the window, and we
had an opportunity to watch her close
ly. In fact, we could look right into
the nest One day when there was a
heavy shower coming up, we thought
we would see if she covered her young
during the rain. Well, when the first
drops fell, she came and took in her
bill one of two or three large leaves
growing close by and laid this leaf over
the nest so as completely to cover it;
then she flew away. On examining the
leaf we found a hole in it, and in the
side Of the nest was a small stick that
the leaf was fastened to or hooked up
on. After the storm was over the old
bird came back and unlocked the leaf,
and the nest was perfectly dry. Amer
