Male Redwing Blackbird feeding young, this intrusion, but the strangers were adopted almost immediately and fed and guarded with all the care given to their own offspring. In the space of four hours ( to ) the parents made one hundred and eight visits to the nest and fed their brood ninety-one times. In this task the female bore the larger share, bringing food more than fifty times, although the male made a good showing, having a rec- ord of thirty-seven visits to his credit. During this long interval the \-oung were thus fed on the average of once in two and one half minutes. At each feeding usually one and but rarely two birds were served. During the first hour the young were fed on an average of once in one and a half minutes. The observer was kept on.
