flock of Bohemian Waxwings at Bangor, the week previous to

KiLLDEEK Plover. — Sunday, April 4th, while out for a walk 

 looking for birds, I was very much gratified to see a Killdeer Plover. 

 It was in fine plumage and was a beautiful bird. — H. IV. /e^ae//,

Spotted Sandpiper Lights in Bushes. — While out looking 

 for birds back of the depot here at Farmington, I saw a vSpotted Sand- 

 piper fly and light on a bush which hung out over the water. They 

 have done this before when I have been at the same place. There 

 is a small creek back of the depot and a sewer runs into it from the 

 village. The Sandpipers were here picking up bugs and worms 

 from the mud on the banks of the creek. — H, W. Jeivell, Farming-

An AlbinIvSTic Hermit Thrush. — On the morning of May 

 1 7th, 1909, the writer saw an albinistic Hermit Thrush at Westbrook, 

 Me. The bird was not captured. The entire head and upper part of 

 the neck and throat appeared to be white and immaculate, and the 

 large spots of the breast were resumed below the albinistic portion, 

 their irregular upper border showing the irregular termination of 

 albinistic portion. The unusual number of Hermit Thrushes seen 

 that morning made it appear that a movement was in progress. The 

 bird has not been seen since. Should any one see the bird, it is to 

 be hoped that it may be reported through these pages. — Arthur H. 

 Norton., Portland. 



A Robin's Strange Nesting Place. ^ — I found a year or two 

 ago what seemed to me to be an interesting incident, which was in 

 the shape of a Robin's nest built on a ledge, the ledge being on a 

 level with the surrounding land. A small bush gave protection 

 from the blazing rays of the sun. The nest was six feet from the 

 track (Sandy River Railroad), where four passenger trains passed, 

 also several freight trains each day, ])ut did not disturb the bird in 

 the least. — H. IV. Jewell, Farmington.
