jays nest is like a crows. and blue
jays and crows belong to the same

This is an interesting observation
and shows that MIR. Grant thinks

most Significant facts In bird history.
He would be a clever student. how.

their nests alone. and yet make his
classification agree with that now
accepted. With what family would
he class the blueblrd. judging from
its nest in n hollow tree or post? Or
how from its nest would he associate
the oriole with the bobolink or black.
