3. Sialia arctica. — Nesting in deserted Woodpecker's holes. 



4. Regiilus calendula. — Everywhere among the firs. 



5. Parus montanus. — Common. It never whistles more than two 

 successive notes, at least I have never heard it. 



6. Sitta carolinensis aculeata. — One pair found breeding in the 

 knot-hole of a large fir. Young hatched on or shortly before the 25 June. 



7. Neocorys spraguei. — A pair breeding on a high, grass-covered 

 knoll just outside the timber. The male was often observed flying high 

 overhead, constantly shifting his position, but keeping at about the same 

 elevation while uttering his song — a rather monotonous carol, unless one 

 is sufficientlv near to hear the wonderful resonance of the blended notes. 



8. DendrcEca auduboni. — Common. 



9. Pyranga liidoviciana. — Rather common. A female observed 

 nest-building June 26, the male meantime singing in a neighboring tree- 

 top. July 3 the nest was apparently completed but without eggs. It was 

 built in a fir some thirty feet from the ground and about midway on a 

 small horizontal limb where several twigs projected out on either side. 



10. Cotyle riparia. — Swallows apparently of this species were seen 

 flying high overhead. Their homes were found lower down on the 

 streams.
