These Kinglets are common this year especially in arbor-vitae swamps and thickets of firs. 1873. Aug. 14. Shot two young in first plumage. " 25. Shot two in first plumage. 1876. May 29. A male seen to-day. The song begins like that of Dondroeca striata and ends like that of Helminthophila ruficapilla. 1880. May 31. Saw a male collecting some building materials which he took into some tall spruces where I lost sight of him; from the actions of several pairs seen to-day I think they are getting ready to lay. copy ② 1882. Oct. 8-22 Exceedingly numerous, far more so than they ever are in Massachusetts. Usually seen in mixed flocks on high ground. Abundant up to the time of my departure.
