6865. Wilsonia puilla chrysolola
5/6 6 June 1907. Hasselborg Lake, Admiralty
Island, Alaska, The nest was in the thick
moes growing from soil clinging among the
roots of an uprooted tree, in bottom of creek
running at north end of the lake, I flushed
the bird from the nest but did not fully
recognize her. On coming back an hour
later I got my hand within a foot of the
nest before she came out. Later I shot at
her but failed to kill. The nest was
about 6 feet from the bottom of the perpendicular side, and was in a little nick in
the moes, which also overhung and hid it.
Incubation scarcely commenced,
