1879.
June 5.
Nest in Pinus banksiana on the end of a point. Eggs incubated about ten days. Height twelve feet. This nest was on a horizontal branch about five feet from the trunk. It was so conspicuous that I saw it while paddling by in my boat. The female sat so closely that I shook the branch several times before she would start. When she did fly, however, she immediately disappeared and was not again soon.
