Turdus a.pallasii. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1896. Watrous found this morning a Hermit's nest on the knoll May 18. behind the school house. I saw the nest this afternoon. It contained four eggs of which one was slightly spotted. The nest is in an opening among some little balsams (about a foot high) deeply sunk in the ground - a typical situation. We did not disturb the eggs. Lake Umbagog. color 4 1898. Just before daybreak I heard the flight call of a Thrush Sept.9. or Grosbeak in the distance. The bird approached rapidly and circled low over the Point as I could tell by the distance of its notes. Finally it alighted in the bushes very near the tent and began making the whining e-e-e cry of a Hermit. Up to this time I had not been able to make up my mind whether the bird was a Thrush or Grosbeak; the night calls of the two are really almost indistinguishable I fear. 1899. Oxford County, Maine. Turdus pallasii. Sept.23' ③ 25' 28' 29', Beth- el; 30 ⑥ ; Oct.2'', between Bethel and Upton.
