22 UPTON, MAINE 1872 June 2 - 14 Birds observed at Upton, Maine not included in the list of 1871 with additional observations on the others. 1. Tinunculus sparverius. Saw a female in the same place nearly every day and she undoubtedly had a nest in one of the tall stubs on which she usually perched. (Accipiterfuscus, saw a pair sitting on a tall stub June 10.) 2. Accipiter cooperii. A single bird flying June 9. 3. Buteo Pennsylvanicus. Very common everywhere in the woods. B.borealis several in 1873. 4. Circus hudsonius. Not very common around the lake. (Coccygus erythrophthalmus, saw several) abundant bird in 1873 (Picus villosus. Three nests all with young the first June 4. P.pubescens not so common as last year: saw a single pair only both sexes incubate.) 5. Picoides arcticus. Three were taken all showing evidence of incubation. A male that I watched for some time was search- ing the fallen trees on the lake shore for food, uttering at short intervals a harsh kec different from any Woodpecker note I ever heard before: both sexes incubate. Mr. Deane who heard their "roll" on the tree trunks describes it as entirely dif- different from that of S.varius. 6. Hylatomus pilcatus. Mr. Deane took a ♀ June 3 and I shot a fine ♂ on the 6th: he did not seem very shy dodging around the trunk of a large dead tree on which he was at work if I made any sudden movement, almost immediately showing his head again and in a few minutes sidling around into full view again.
