Of which are as follows: You should
dress as nearly like the surroundings
as possible. Go very quietly through
the woods so that the birds may not
hear you. Try to gain the confidence
of the mother bird. Do not take the
nest until the birds have left it. Never
touch the eggs nor blow your breath
on them, since in many cases the
mother bird will abandon the nest,
With the report of committees closed
