I 12 



afternoon, it was with feelings of real affection for 

 that wonderful bird and her little family. 



Subsequent news of them was to the effect that ten 

 days later four little tanagers left the nest success- 

 fully, and that on the tenth of August the redoubtable 

 tanager had another nest forty feet up this same 

 oak and had begun to incubate three more eggs. 

 This is a remarkably late date and the only instance 

 which ever came to my knowledge of this species hav- 

 ing two broods in a season. 



When such occurrences may be at any time the re- 

 ward of the bird-lover, what wonder that we take 

 delight in roaming the glorious out-doors, enjoying 

 what we see and stimulated by the expectancy of the 

 ever-impending fortunate discovery !
