  • Humming bird [underlined] May 30/42 [1942] In cutting down 3 old cedars at Smith Falls Hatchery the men found a humming bird's nest in the first on the lower most [illegible word crossed out] branch. The nest + limb fell, breaking both eggs; embryos were well advanced, feathers showing. The female kept returning to the tree apparently looking for the nest + appeared much disturbed. May 31 [1942] A nest was found near the uppermost branchlet of the lowermost limbe of a cedar on the west side of the highway into Cultus Lake, 50 yds [yards] south of old overhead logging railroad crossing. The nest contained two young just ready to fly. Nest and young were removed to lab where the birds took flight on release alighting on windown still or floor. Typical humming sound + squeaking was made. Plumage well developed bust nesting down still present on breast. The birds were made into specimends. Compared with the nest taken the previous day this one was much wider in diameter, the size being increased by the activities of the nestlings.
