1915, measured 2.50 X 1.25 inches in depth, and 3.50 X 2.12 inches in 
diameter. Another found June 23, 1916, measured 2.37 x 1.50 inches in 
depth and 4 X 2.12 inches in diameter. The eggs in the first of these two 
nests measured .69 X .52, .69 X .52, .69 X .51, .68 X .52, .70 X .54, .71 X 
.54. The ground color is a faint greenish-gray shade, heavily marked with 
spots and specks of reddish brown, with one or two slight washes of lighter 
tint and lavender shell blotches. The eggs in the other nest measured

ground color was rather more grayish than in the former set, thickly marked 
with lighter reddish brown, more in blotches, with lavender shell blotches. 
A set of seven measured .73 X .55, .738 X .55, .70 X .54, .73 X .55, .73 X 
54; .73 X .55, .73 X .54; and the nest outside diameter 4 inches with a 
depth of 2 inches; inside diameter 2.15, inside depth 1.15 inches. These 
eggs were very heavily blotched with reddish brown and lavender, chiefly 
at the larger end, with a ground color of a pale blue. Some of the nests 
found were substantial and well built structures, though exteriorly loose, 
others very frail, one on a horizontal limb being so thin of bottom as to 
endanger the eggs falling through. 
The song is of a character quite similar to that of the Blackburnian 
Warbler, but slightly stronger and louder. It is delivered for long periods, 
with considerable frequency, and at all times of day, though less frequently 
toward the middle of the day. It appears that the female sings from the 
nest, in answer to the male, and the song is markedly weaker, being scarcely 
distinguishable from that of the Blackburnian Warbler. The approach of 
an intruder is apt to cause the female to become silent. 
Dendroica striata. Buack-poLL WARBLER.— Fairly common. Breeds. 
Dendroica fusca. BLAcKBURNIAN WARBLER.— A not very common 
breeding bird. 
Dendroica virens. Buack-THROATED GREEN WARBLER.— Fairly 
common breeder. A nest with four slightly incubated eggs was found on 
June 23, 1915, about five feet from ground in little balsam in thick growth 
of same, in a clearing in the woods, and another, near the same place, and 
also in a little balsam, the bottom of the nest being only twenty-seven inches 
from the ground, was found June 19, 1916, containing four fresh eggs. 
Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea. YrLLOw PALM WARBLER.— 
Fairly common breeding bird in suitable spots. While the majority of the 
birds and nests noted were in damp, boggy ground, as recorded by Knight 
in the Birds of Maine, one small breeding colony were nesting on high, 
dry ground, in a grove of small pines. Here, on June 24, 1915, a nest with 
four well incubated eggs was found, at the base of a tiny spruce and some 
shoots, quite unconcealed. Another with four newly hatched young was 
on a quite bare spot of ground, but concealed under a low hanging branch 
of a little spruce. On this occasion it appeared probable by the action of 
the birds, that most nests held young. On June 28 another nest with five 
eggs was found, incubation almost complete. It was well concealed in a 
grass tussock in a boggy little creek bed. In 1916, on June 9, a nest with
