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.
