_Breeding schedule._--Eggs are laid at least in June. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is about 4 eggs (Davie, 1898). Nests are placed low, perhaps about four feet high, in a wide variety of small trees and shrubs. =Louisiana Waterthrush=: _Seiurus motacilla_ (Vieillot).--This uncommon to rare summer resident in eastern Kansas lives in woodland understory near streams. Nesting records come from Douglas, Miami, Linn, and Crawford counties. Wolfe (1961) reports he found a nest with young near Oberlin, Decatur County, on June 10, 1910, under an overhanging bank of Sappa Creek; Decatur County is some 250 miles west of the present western limit of the breeding range of the Louisiana Waterthrush, and western habitats are not favorable for their occurrence. Temporal characteristics of their distribution are indicated in Table 17. _Breeding schedule._--Eggs are laid in May and June. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is about 5 eggs (Davie, 1898). Nests are placed in concealed places in banks or stumps always where it is wet.
