Lanius l. migrans 1903 Oxford Co. Maine Bethel. June 5 Discovered a pair of these Shrikes on the interval just north of the railroad Station. The ♀ had a freshly killed Bank Swallow which I saw her impale first on the point of a sharp fever Stalk, afterwards on a twig of a low willow in which a ♀ Bluebird also hung. This was about 10 a.m. at 4.30 P.M. the Swallow was gone but the Bluebird still impaled. " 8 The same pair in the same place. Saw the ♂ feed a young bird just from the nest & able to fly only a yard or two at a time. Found a nest in a small elm within 100 yds. of R.R. Station within 50 yds. of Bethel Chair Factory. It looked new & fresh & contained one egg. The ♀ seized a bite of Shrike's wing from a Barrel cart flew off with it in the direction of this nest on June 5. Saw the ♂ impale a Redlined Frog on a small elm twig. " 10 Same pair in same place. ♀ sitting on nest, ♂ feeding young bird (these seems to be only one young) which flies 100 or more yards at a stretch to-day. The dead Bluebird was gone on the ♀ & and the Redlined Frog to-day, the ♂ Shrike sang a little this forenoon. " 11 Found nest with 4 fresh eggs. Both parents hovered about Gilbert's head as he climbed the tree uttering a scolding note something like that of King Owlers but louder & harsher. (Detailed observations respecting these birds are recorded in my journal.) The pair was seen later in the month (about the 22nd) by Ralph Hoffman. During this same month Walter Dean found a firm of migratory Shrikes accompanied by their young on wing in an open orchard near A. E. Philbrick's, at Shelburne, N.H.
