X 31. Black-throated Green Warb-

 nest containing four young in Sharon

 know unique — fifteen feet up on a 

 nearly horizontal small branch of an 

 apple tree in an abandoned orchard. 

 The bird was seen feeding the young. 

 On July 17th after a storm, the nest 

 was ehipty, though the birds were too 



young to have left it naturally. Inter- 

 nally, it is of fine grass stalks, lined 

 with some hair; outwardly, its mater- 

 ials are more miscellaneous, being 

 bark strips, fine twigs, silvery fibre, 

 a few grass stalks, with much bark 

 from the Paper Birch. 



Another nest found by my brother 

 held four fresh eggs on July 30th. 

 Placed three and one-half feet out on 

 a horizontal Black Spruce limb, it was 

 closely covered above by a branchlet 

 from the same limb, but was very evi- 

 dent from below.
