REMARKABLE BIRDS NEST.

Perhaps the most remarkable birds
nest ever exhibited IS that described by
the director OF the Chicago Field Mu-
scum in recent report. It has been in
terpreted as representing the efforts OF
the American yellow warbler TO avoid
becoming the foster parent OF the young
cow-bird- The cow-bird is the cuckoo
OF America, and has the same habit OK
laying its eggs in the nests Of other
birds as our cuckoo. But II the sug-
gested explanation Of the above nest Is
correct. IL would appear that certain
American birds do not take the honor
of being foster parents to the young
cow-bird as complacently as the titlarls
and hedge sparrow accept the response
bility Of standing loco parents to the
young cuckoo.
The nest consists OF four stories. and
the floor Of each successive story seems
10 represent the determination OF the
yellow warbler not 10 sit on the eggs OF
the cow-bird. The lowest stage Is a
nest OF twigs lined with wool. and con-
tains four eggs, one OF these being the
cow-bird's, and the rest those OF the
warbler Unwilling 10 accept the re-
sponslbility of the strange egg, the war
bier rooted this over with twigs, but be-
fore tt could line this second nest. an
other coW-bird's egg was laid on Il.
Again the warbler rooted this over with
a new nest of twlgs. But the cow-bird
came again. and laid another egg, which
the persevering warbler again built over
with a new nest, succeeding this time
In putting on the wool lining. Another
cOw-bird's egg was laid on this ana
again rooted over with twlgs. Tired OF
the struggle at last. however, the war
bier apparently did not finish the top
nest. nor lay its eggs-unless. indeed.
they We're Matched and reared before the
nest was found. n this case II remains
uncertain whether the warbler or the
cow-bird was successful in this strange
