Trogloytes hiemalis. Lake Umbagog, Maine. Beautiful song. 1896. This early morning for nearly half an hour I heard two May 30. Winter Wrens singing within a few rods of me, one on either side and one beginning just after the other stopped. They fairly flooded the woods with their rare music. As I stood listening, thrilled by the wonderfully loud, clear notes as they flowed on, now smoothly and rapidly, next halting or tripping a little, I doubted if, after all, North America possesses a finer little bird musician than the Winter Wren- provided he heard in the depths of one of these northern for- est when the air is perfectly still and the listener not over twenty yards away. Certainly it is the most satisfying song we have. 1899. Oxford County, Maine. Trogloytes hiemalis. Sept.29, one, Bethel.
