The eggs are still to be seen in my collection and have well preserved their delicate color. While snipe shooting April 9th, 1901 my son, Edward Reinecke, found a woodcock's nest with the female bird on her eggs. Having heard of their very close setting, he crept tip cautiously and with a short slender twig, raised the bird's bill up and down until finally she flew from her nest which con- tained three beautiful eggs. The thought occurred to him that. From Photo by James Sa
