Lanius ludovicianus migrans. Bethel, Maine. 1903 June II (II) Visited the Shrike's nest about half past eleven this fore- noon. Both birds absent when we reached the tree but as Gilbert was climbing it they suddenly appeared and fluttered close about his head like a pair of big butterflies, uttering a rapid succes- sion of scolding cries very like those of a Solitary or Yellow- throated Vireo (eh-eh-eh-eh, etc.), but louder and sharper. We took the nest which contained a set of four beautifully marked eggs. The birds came within 4 or 5 feet of Gilbert and when pois- ing kept their tails wide-spread.
