Ammodramus sandwichensis savanna.
Lake Umbagog, Maine. Nests and eggs.
1896. Watrous went down the Lake this morning to get two Savan-
May 26. na Sparrows' nests in the meadows between Lakeside Hotel and
the Lake - nests found by us last week, one by me, empty but
finished, May 15, having two eggs May 21, the other by Watrous
empty but finished May 14, with three eggs May 21. To-day
Watrous took my nest with 4 eggs, and his nest with 5 eggs,
both sets being slightly incubated and evidently complete.
He searched a good deal for fresh nests and found one in the
Lakeside meadow empty but apparently finished.
