The male also appeared upon the scene but was not so bold and 

 soon retired to the tree-tops. 



On July 3rd, I paid the birds a second visit. The young birds 

 had developed considerably. I stationed myself about fifteen 

 feet from the nest, and in five minutes the female bird began feed- 

 ing the young. Once she shook a lepidopterous larva (more 

 than an inch long) from a curled-up leaf, and after pinching it for 

 a while, took it to the nest 



On another occasion a large Tipula was brought. The young 

 were fed, in fact, every three or four minutes, then the mother 

 would brood them for a short time. The male did not appear, but 

 was occasionally heard singing up in the trees around the clearing. 



On the fourth of July my folding chair was set six feet from 

 the nest, and there I sat taking notes while the warbler — always 

 the female — flitted about me, sometimes all but alighting upon 

 my shoulder or foot. All the insects that were required were 

 found within ten feet of the nest. I suppose they are so numer- 

 ous in the woods that in every spot a new supply comes on daily. 



The next morning a camera was taken to the chestnut-side's 

 district, with the hope that a family group photo might be made. 

 Nothing doing. The young were gone. Doubtless they were in 

 the vicinity for the old bird flitted about chipping as usual, but 

 I could not find them. 



A photo of the nest was made, then I gave my atteniton to 

 the Hoodeds, the Ceruleans — and the mosquitoes.
