Troglodytes reditus. — It is more than twenty years since 

 the House Wren has been noted in Penobscot County. Twenty- 

 eight years ago the House Wren was a rather common summer res- 

 ident near Bangor, and in my boyhood days I found many of their 

 nests in this vicinity. At about the time the English Sparrow 

 began to appear in appreciable numbers here, the House Wrens 

 were no longer to be found in the vicinity. The present summer 

 two pair at least of these birds have been seen within the limits of 

 the City of Bangor, and one of these is nesting in the yard of Miss 

 Bertha Brown. The other pair was seen by Mr. Winch in another 

 section of the city. A specimen, which was killed by a cat at 

 Orono, has been presented to the University of Maine museum. —

Nesting of the Hudsonian Chickadee in New Hamp- 

 shire. — The nesting of the Hudsonian Chickadee in New Eng- 

 land is of rare enough occurrence to merit some notice, and as I 

 have been fortunate in finding two nests of this species I will give 

 the data herewith. The first nest was found June 3rd, 1908, and 

 contained seven eggs, well incubated ; the second was found June 

 7th, 1909, and contained the same number of eggs, far advanced in 

 incubation. The nests were both placed in small spruce stumps in 

 a swamp, the second nest within thirty yards of the location of the 

 first nest. — Fred B. Spaulding ^Lancaster ^ N. H. 



A Fisherman and a Bird Eover Too. — When one starts 

 away on a fishing trip in the spring he doesn't know how much 

 more he would enjoy the time if he were interested in birds. Mrs. 

 Rolfe and I left Portland on our annual fishing trip on the 15th of 

 May. We went to Moosehead Eake and staid over Sundaj- in 

 Skowhegan. We saw the following birds during the two weeks that 

 we were away. Sparrow Hawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper's 

 Hawk, Fish Hawk, Crow, Bald Eagle, Herring Gull, Least Sand- 

 piper, Spotted Sandpiper, Yellow-legs, Prairie Horned Eark, 

 Meadowlark, Pipit, Blackburnian Warbler, Parula Warbler, Yellow
