Photo. June 26- 1907 Nest found in the moss on the side of a fallen, half buried log, just beyond high water mark, and was well concealed by rank, overhanging vegetation. The nest was located by watching the & feeding the five young which were about six days old. She was very shy about approaching the nest, and several trips had to be made to the locality before it was finally found. The female was shot and an attempt made to care for the young until they were old enough for specimens, but failed. We were leaving the locality and could not wait for the parent to close for us.
