. Birds of the Papago Saguaro National Monument and the Neighboring Region, Arizona . Photograph by M. French Gilman. A. NEST WITH FIVE EGGS OF GILA WOODPECKERIN GIANT CACTUS. The side of the cactus has been cut away to expose the B. NESTING COLONY OF FARALLON CORMORANTS NEAR MOUTH OF TONTORIVER, ROOSEVELT LAKE. BIRDS OF THE PAPAGO SAGUARO NATIONAL MONUMENT. 53 birds were seen. Near the head of the Salt River branch of the lakecormorants were seen in about the same number as on Tonto did not examine any nests here, but in all probability the two coloniesare of about the same size. During the nesting season the cormorants appeared to remain closeto the nests, none being seen during June at the lower end of thelake. A month later, during the first week in July, several wereobserved in the vicinity of the dam. At the present time conditions are certainly favorable to the cor-morants, and the colony will probably increase in numbers from yearto year. Nesting on a Federal bird reservation, they are secure ofinjury from man, their nests are safe from ordinary danger, and inthe lake there is abundance of food. The dead trees serving fortheir present nesting sites, however, are certain to disappear in thecourse
