Geog. Dist.—Western North America to the Pacific, east regularly to Wis- consin, Illinois, Kansas and Texas. Accidental in the Atlantic States. The handsome Yellow - headed Blackbird is found generally dis- tributed on the prairies in all favorable localities from Texas on the south to Illinois and Wisconsin, thence to the Pacific. A common bird in the West, nesting in May and June. It collects in colonies to breed in marshy places any- where in its general range, often in company with the Red-winged Black- bird. The nests are usually placed in the midst «f lai ge marshes, attached to the tall flags and grasses. They are generally large, light, but thick-brim- meu, made of interwoven grasses and sedges impacted together. The eggs are stated to range from two to six in number, but the usual number is four. In the hundreds of sets that have come into my hands only three contained five eggs of each. Their ground-color is dull g»^ayish-white, in some grayish- green, profusely covered with small blotches and specks of drab, purplish- brown and umber. Their average size is 408.
