Regulus satrapa. 1889, Lake Umbagog. October 1. Big flock. Near Oxford Club I saw a mixed flock of fully 100 birds. They seemed to be mostly Kinglets (R. satrapa) with a few Chickadees Myrtle Warblers and Solitary Vireos. 1896, Lake Umbagog. June 2. Pine Point. Nest. We also followed a Golden-crested Kinglet to her nest which was very similarly placed only it was hung beneath the branch instead of being on it, like the Blackburnian's. The tree was al- so a young and slender spruce. Both nests were about 30 ft. above the ground. The female Kinglet sat very close. Her nest was full of eggs and newly hatched young, Watrous said. He could not look into it and he tried vainly to count the eggs and young by touch. He thought there were 9 or 10 of both.
