30 UPTON, MAINE 1872 June 2 - 14 by Mr. Deane but may have been mistaken as there were several warblers in the same tree. As we were unable to detect any other individuals upon the strictest search, and did not hear anywhere in the woods any song that could be referred to the males, I infer that these birds must have been migrating probable to the North: the sex of the specimens received taking into account the well known fact that the females finally close the migration of a species, would tend to bear out this hypothesis, and in all three individuals the ovaries were but slightly developed showing that the time for reproduction was still remote. It has been taken only once before in N.E. at Waterville, Me. by C. E. Hambin, May 31. 13. Mimus carolinensis. Rather rare: breeds. Anorthura hyemalis. As the case last year although they were continually singing arround us in the woods we did not succeed in getting a shot at a single individual. (Young flying June 73) Certhia Americana. Not common, paired and in full song. Am now of the opinion that the notes heard in Mass. and described in my Or. record, were the practicings of the young bird as they were more protracted and warbling than the song heard in Maine which was short, loud and emphatic and withal very sweet. Sitta canadensis. Saw them more frequently than last year but the species was still not very numerous. Although all the specimens taken and observed were adte. their notes had at this season a high nasal tone not heard in Autumn and was kept up incessantly like the complainings of a young bird.
