And he meant to roh as many nests as he could,with out being discovered. Now, the nearest nest to the old stone wall was that of Goidenwlng the Flicker. To Chatterer a way of thinking that was the choicest of all the nests because the eggs In it were sure to be the largest. You may be sure he kept a very sharp watch of that Flicker home. Hidden between the stones in the old stone wall he could watch all that went on. So it was that he found out when Mrs. Flicktrr was through laying eggs. He knew she was through because she had been sitting on them. Then he kept a closer watch than ever. He knew that she had to go hunt for food every day, and he found out about what time she usually left the nest.
