 cedar swamp, was built in an excavation in the side of 

 a decayed moss covered log, so that the excavation itself 

 formed an arch over the nest, instead of one made by the 

 bird, as in the preceding species. The nest was con- 

 structed of moss and lined with fine roots. The five 

 eggs, were of a delicate flesh color, spotted with light 

 reddish brown. Arrives the first of May.
