MAINE, (L. Umbagog) 1876. (June 3) Nest of [illegible] antiginos a Coleoptus auratus 349 and probably half of this were new. The bird evidently builds in the same tree year after year but why it should make more than one hole in a season I cannot imagine. The nest is very easily found as the birds seem to delight in flying out and in and have a habit of chirping just below it for many minutes at a time looking in! In this last case I noticed that the bird had to struggle violently to get out. Saw to do boldly down still further we landed on the further floating island in front of Stone's and broting about through the blue Blueberry bushes I soon started a g bittern (B. lim.) of her nest. She did not rise until I was within four feet of her. The nest was small & flat and composed entirely of dead twigs it was placed on the ground among the thickest barks. The eggs were 5 or two with scarcely formed embryos the remainder fresh. The bird croaked as she saw and ended her experiment entirely one one of the egg. She flew directly off at right & did not return. Near the house my guide cut down a short birch stub containing a Coleoptus nest. We found only two eggs in the center & one of the broken depth of hole in. Saw during the day & number of small birds but nothing uncommon. Heard a g Dotterelery singing at Stone's & a number of Fly drunks at different points, D. castanea & D. Black! Common everywhere. Heard as B. Cereus
