North America weat of the MUHlaaip- pi, b-««>(llng from Texaa to Manitoba and winter- ing aloRK the Pacific CoaHt of the United Statea and from Texaa aouthward. Eared Orebes differ from tlie preceding in hav- ing the entire n«ck blacklah. They neat very abundantly throuK!iout the we»t. In favorable lo- calltlea from TexaH to Minneaota and Dakota. Hnmed Qrebe Their nesta are con.'itructed In the aame man- ner as the precedia nrletlea and are located In aimilar localitiea. Ab do all the Orebes when lei the neat, they cover the egga with the damp ruahea from around the baae of the neat. This la prob- ably for the purpose of aaalating Incuba- tion during their absence, by the action of the sun'a raya on the wet mass. As they are nearly always thus covered upon the approach of anyone, this may be done also aa a protection from discovery. They lay from three to eight bluish white eggs with the usual chalky and discolored appear- ance. The breeding season Is at Its height early in June, or earlier. In the southern portion of Its range.
