366 MAINE, (L. Umbagog). 1876. Sunday June 18 Nest of Myiod. Canadensis - Nest of Sturnus Nutor. " " D. maculosa " " Gy. Carolin. Swallow & Mergansers. Clear and warm with heavy thowr in P.M. Started off in the boat with Bailey after breakfast and sailed with the wind blowing almost a gale on to Sargets Clearing when we landed and spent several hours hunting for nests but without finding anything of any value. I started a my large Oak swamp, spruce swamp, and found a cedar bird's nest just commenced. Empidonax flavi was abundant in thickets of water willow. Returning to the boat pretty thoroughly disgusted we set sail for home but when opposite Browns I spied a king bird's nest in a tree & saw in to examine. Found it contained three eggs, and as we had taken the trouble to land we concluded to hunt a little more when barely had we started into the woods than Bailey came across THE nest of My. Can. It was placed most beautifully, in a hole in a mossy bank the bush extending in about six inches and the entire nest & contents overhung by green roof of moss. She 2 was sitting on 4 fresh eggs & flew off when B. was within about 3 yds. of her. The locality was a little mossy glade in the midst of heavy woods and overshadowed by one or two large trees. Landing again nearer home we ate lunch and I took three nests found June 15th, 2 of D. Swainsoni on 2 & the other eggs, D. maculosa 4. Here I found a last years nest of Sturnus Nutor built exactly like the one of Myiodoctes just described. It had one dried egg which I think I can save. Hunting about in the woods awhile I found a nest of D. maculosa in a Yewer sapling about 7 ft up. She 2 was sitting on 4 fresh eggs. Bailey found an old bird's nest. While here we started a 2 loofhos, Creullatus from among the stubs and I was much surprised to see a 5th brood start off after her and quickly overtake her flying brother start off his flight as in world hard a track.
