June 8. A-4 Nest with four fresh eggs among wild raspberry bush-
es in pasture on Upton Hill. Nest raised a few inches
above the ground among the surrounding stems; female

number of Warblers od different species, unhesitatingly
picked out a female Mourning Warbler from among the other
skins as being the bird in question.
