driveway. I didn't discover it until I found the young birds on the 

 ground beneath, just after they had vacated the nest. In the spring, 

 during snowstorms, Juncos and Song Sparrows had come in here for 

 shelter, and to pick up food from "the ground. I had fed them lib- 

 erally with seeds, and probably pleasant memories had suggested 

 this as a good place for a home. July 29th, I flushed an Ovenbird 

 from its nest, which had three eggs.

A Connecticut Warbler. — During the latter part of Sep- 

 tember I saw several Connecticut Warblers in the woods of Cape 

 Elizabeth, and undoubtedly there was quite a flight of these birds 

 at about that time. The first time one of these Warblers was noted 

 I could not be fully sure what species it was. That was on the i6th 

 of September. On the following day, vSept. 17, 1906, a cat brought 

 to a cottage, about two hundred yards from the spot where I had 

 seen the bird which puzzled me, a young male Connecticut Warbler. 

 The specimen was taken to Mr. Arthur H. Norton and was fully 

 verified by him, after comparison with the skins in his possession. 

 This, I believe, is the seventh record of this Warbler in south- 

 western Maine. The previous six records are as follows : Brown, 

 Cape Elizabeth, Aug. 30, 1878, Abstract proceedings Portland 

 Society Natural History, 1882; Goodale, Saco, Sept., 1885, Sept. 

 8, 1886, and Sept. 15, 1886 ; Goodale in Auk, Vol. IV, p. 77 ; Norton, 

 Westbrook, Sept. 20, 1896, Bulletin University of Maine, No. Ill, 

 p. 119; Norton, Westbrook, Sept. 5, 1901, Journal Maine Ornith- 

 ological Society, Vol. VI, p. 47.
