CENSUS OF NESTING BIRDS 57 



Acadian Flycatcher sounded his woodsy whistle, and I could 

 occasionally see the gleam of orange and black of Redstarts as 

 they flitted among the green leaves for their food. An acro- 

 batic Chat tippled up, then down from his perch as he whis- 

 tled and jeered at the other birds; and all about were thick 

 woods and flowers and ferns and dripping dew. 



Across on the north side of Southeast Hollow a promi- 

 nent, broken limestone ledge crops out, and all along here I 

 found several roosting places of the Turkey Buzzards. I dis- 

 covered no nests nor eggs, but really did not take time to stop 

 and hunt the crevices of the rocks. The big black aviators are 

 seen floating about high in the air over this region from early 

 March throughout the summer. It is interesting to watch 

 them. Their roosting places, however, are not so fascinating.
