Chaetura pelagica. 1896, June 5. Lake Umbagog. Nest in hole in dead pine. Nearly opposite this spot (north bank of Androscoggin a little below the mouth of Megalloway) on the south bank stands a large white pine which has died within a year or two. As we were passing this tree on our way down river we saw a Chimney Swift en- ter a small, round hole (no larger than a Hairy Woodpecker's hole) in the side of the trunk about 20 ft. above the ground. The bird did not fly - or flutter - or drop into the hole but alighting on its lower edge crawled in precisely as a Tree Swallow would have done. On our return we tapped the tree with an oar and the Swift came out like a shot, darting off over the river and out of sight. I was most anxious to have the tree cut open, but the trunk was so large and the bark so thick and hard that Watrous pronounced it useless to try to climb it, even with the aid of his climbing irons.
