Something has happened to these Kinglets, they
were very scarce in woods. Last autumn, winter &
spring & so scarce this season at Umbagog
that I heard in all probably only from
different nests. Probably like the Blackbirds
they were nearly all killed at the South during
the winter of 1894-95.
June 2. Followed ♀ to nest under lateral branch of
small, slender Spruce 30 ft. high, 55-60 ft. trunk
6 ft. from top of tree, poorly will concealed above
but whole nest plainly visible from ground
covering like bed of grasses. & fat closely in
front Mothers nearly finished her before the light.
Peeped a little but did not come near, Nest
full of eggs & young birds just hatched. Mothers
did hardly to cover them by the trunk, He
thought there were 9 or 10.
1899. Oxford County, Maine.
