Myiarchus crinitus. Maine (Lake Umbagog). 1876. June 1. Saw a pair and one single bird along the path to the Stone Farm; they were noisy, as usual, and very shy. " 3. One among the flooded forest of stubs at the Outlet. " 18. Heard one near the post-office on Upton Hill. " 14. One calling behind the barn all day long. " 17. Heard them everywhere about the shores of the lake. They are fully as common here now as the Olive-sided Fly- catcher. " 19. Mr. Purdie who returned to-day from the Megalloway tells me that this species was rather common about the lower settlement. 1878. May 24. One in the woods behind the Lake House. June 1. As in 1876 this Flycatcher is fairly abundant along the shores wherever there are plenty of dead stubs; nor is it wanting upon higher ground, for I heard one this af- ternoon at least a half a mile from the Lake on Upton Hill. Although it was certainly a rare bird here in 1871-2 it is now, in suitable localities, nearly as com- mon as Contopus borealis. " 5. One entered a natural hole in an ash stub about fifty feet above the water. At least six pairs seen to-day. 1880. May 21. One, the first. June 9. Set B-5. Incubated three days--solitary stub sur- rounded by water four rods from shore; nest about twelve inches below entrance, which was an old knothole large enough to admit the hand; height ten feet; female sitting. She flew from the hole before we were within gun shot. Her cries summoned the male but both were very shy, rarely coming within gun range. They made less noise than I expected. 1881. May 13. Seen to-day. Alva Coolidge says that they were yester- day.
