Quiscalus q. aeneus. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1897. tures came out unusually well. June 6. We also photographed another Grackle's nest, not far off, in the top of an exceedingly narrow cavity and in the early afternoon I got a good negative of a third which Watrous found and which was built behind a large scale of loose bark exactly after the manner of a Brown Creeper's nest - a unique situa- tion as far as my experience goes. There must be at least twenty pairs of Grackles breeding in the neighborhood of the Outlet. They seem to live at peace with all their smaller bird neighbors but when a Crow appears there is great excitement and from far and near they gather to mob and drive him away.
