Breepinc Nores.—A nest taken by me was a neat cup sus- 
pended by the brim in the embrace of a forked twig. It was 
built of strips of bark, pine needles, pieces of wasp’s nests and 
paper. Apparently agglutinated with the saliva of the bird, and 
lined with grass. Eggs 3 to 5, pure white, marked with fine dark 
reddish-brown spots toward the largerend. (G. R. White.) This 
species lays two or three eggs during June in its swinging nest 
which is generally placed in a sapling maple. A few nests have 
been found in conifers. (W.H. Moore.) This species builds a 
suspended nest, cup-shaped, the brim attached to a small hori- 
zontal fork at the end of a branch, from two to thirty feet from 
the ground, The nest is made of strips of thin flexible bark, 
the outside ornamented with the white bark of the birch, and the 
inside lined with hair-like roots, fine leaves or very small twigs. 
Nesting season in June. Three or four eggs are laid. Nests 
taken at Ottawa and at Lake Nominingue tIco miles north of 
Ottawa. (Garneai.)
