70 1872 June 2 - 14 Upton, Maine. 3. S. Batis pennsylvanica. Very common everywhere in the woods. B. birds on, 73 " 4. Circus hudsonius. Not very common around the lake. (Gery gus try three petholamus, Van oeral) absent, and 73 (Siris pilosus, Three nests all with young the first Sunday) P. luscana, not so common as last year; saw a single pair only; both sets incubate) 5. Picoides arctius. They were taken all showing evidence of incubation. A male that I watched for some time was searching the taller trees on the lake shore for food uttering at short intervals a harsh fee different from any Woodpecker note I've heard before Both sets incubate. Mr. Dean who heard this "call" on the tree trunks describes it as entirely different from that of S. varius. 6. Hylocomus griseatus. Mr. Dean took a 2 June 3 and I shot a fine 8 on the Crt. did not seem very shy dodging around the trunk of a large dead tree, he made no sudden movement, almost graduality showing his head again and in a few minutes sidling around into full view again. I was first attracted to him by his loud singing laugh repeated up for nearly a minute without intrusion until I wondered how the bird could get breath; this note resembled the Spring song of G. flaptus versatus very closely but was much louder and a trifle shriller. The female bird killed by Mr. Dean was hammering an old frostsate log to pieces.
