Dendroica maculosa. Maine (Lake Umbagog). 1879. June 4. Nest with four fresh eggs, twelve feet above the ground in a fir shrub. Female sat so closely that I nearly touched her. Ups. " 7. Three empty but apparently finished nests. copy 2 // " 10. Three sets of eggs, four, two, and five respectively; the set of five incubated about ten days, the others fresh; the nests all in small evergreens by the road- side, two in firs, one ina spruce; height from three to five feet. The parent of the set of five sat so close- ly that I almost touched her with my hand; she slid quietly off the nest and began chirping sharply, hopping about within a few feet of me, trailing her wings and jotting her widely spread tail nervously. She was in exceptionally high plumage and probably a very old bird which may account for the exceptional number of eggs in this set. // (June 13) Nest with young at least a week old and one egg containing a dead embryo. " " Four sets of four eggs each, one set incubated about four days, another on the point of hatching the other two perfectly fresh. All four nests in the top of spruce sapling about eight feet high. Ups. " 14. Set Q-4. -- Incubation five days; nest in fir shrub; height two feet. Female sat closely. I stooped over the nest till my face was within a foot of her be- fore she flew off. " 16. Set T-5. Incubated about six days; nest in top of fir shrub; height about two feet. " 17. Set U-4. Nearly fresh. Nest on horizontal branch of tall spruce at its extremity, about eight feet above the ground, beautifully concealed under a flake-like layer of twigs, and almost pensile in character. This nest was found June 13 when it contained two eggs. // copy 3 8/
