June 8 Two eggs about to hatch taken by Watsons from a nest placed 40 ft. above the ground in the fork of a large yellow birch on the main upper back of Pine Point. The nest was lined with green maple leaves, and strips of soft bark. One of the birds was sitting. It came off at once when Watsons offered the foot of the tree. He found this nest last year and Watsons says that he claimed to sit at that time and thought from its appearance that it was their own old nest, although the birds were seen a second near it frequently. 1903.
