ten minutes, leave at the approach of the male, return promptly with food, and brood

the nest when the sun became temporarily obscured and return when the clouds lifted.
It was not quite certain, however, that the element of chance did not vitiate the

force or by hunger. I have often seen her drop down in the grass, pick up a morsel on
her own account, and be back to the nest in a fraction of a second before the insect wa
sfairly swallowed. Again she might leave the nest twenty times in the course of an hour
to procure food either for herself or her children. Her mate would often alight above
