THE HUMMINC.BIRD
Where to Find Its Nest, and How it Feeds
Its Young.
In St. Nicholas, Henry Hales writes
of the ruby-throated humming bird.
The humming-birds builds on the up-
per site of a branch ,a branch gener-
ally about the size of the nest. The
nest is beautifully felted with fine white
vegetable down and studded on the out-
side with fine lichens and minute specks
They do not seem to retire to se-
cluded places to build; they are as ec-
centric in their choice of a nesting
place as in their nature and habits,
Some suppose their nests are near the
gardens or vines they visit: but that is
not often the case. A few magic vibra-
tions of the wings, and they are far
away in a few seconds,
