Chestnut-sided Warblers were 

 scarce, although we found one pair 

 that evidently had a nest in the 

 hushes. Blackburnian Warblers were 

 scarce. One pair was noted feeding 

 young at the nest, which was situat- 

 ed in a large Hemlock and far out on 

 the end of a limb. An almost inac- 

 cessable place. My father observed a 

 female of this species at work on a 

 nest, the first nest having evidently 

 been destroyed. 



Black-throated Green Warblers were 

 common and were certainly breeding, 

 but no nests were found. Ovenbirds 

 were common breeders. One pair of 

 Water Thrush were feeding their 

 young. Nest under bank of small 

 stream. 



Only one pair of Mourning Warb- 

 lers was seen, and were evidently 

 breeding in the underbrush, although 

 we could riot find the nest. A nest of 

 the Yellow Warbler was found in an 

 Apple tree with five small young 

 thei-ein. Maryland Yellow - throats 

 were breeding commonly in the 

 bushes and briars along the lake. 



Yellow-breasted Chats were breed- 

 ing also among the low bushes. Cana- 

 dian Warblers were very common, and 

 undoubtedly breeding, but no nests 

 were located. Redstarts were nesting 

 commonly along the edge of the lake 

 in Beech trees. 



Some of the other birds we found 

 breeding in this locality were Yellow- 

 bellied Sapsucker (with young). Win- 

 ter Wren, Bob-o-link, Least Flycatch- 

 er, Bewick's Wren, Rose-breasted 

 Grosbeak, Marsh Hawk, Great-horned 

 Owl, Woodcock, Nighthawk, Whip- 

 poor-will, Brown Creeper, Scarlet Tan- 

 ager. Bob-white, Buffed Grouse, 

 Chickadee and Sparrow Hawk.

NOTES. 

 Sad. 



Pingrey I. Osborne of Pasadena, 

 California, who at one time had a 

 bright and brilliant future as a promis- 

 ing young naturalist, has been expelled 

 from membership by the Cooper Orni- 

 thological Club upon charges prefer- 

 red against him. Those interested in 

 knowing what the charges are can 

 learn them by referring to the Jan- 

 uary-February issue of The Condor. It 

 is sad indeed that a young man in the 

 morning of life will wreck a promising 

 future in such a manner. And it 

 leaves a feeling of dissatisfaction and 

 suspicion lingering in the minds of 

 every one of us who are unfortunate 

 enough to have any of his specimens 

 in our collections. 



"Skeered." 



An ex-oologist calls upon the Su- 

 preme Being to protect Ye Editor un- 

 til he shall meet us, that he may have 

 the privilege of delivering the per- 

 sonal violence that his communication 

 threatens. 



We trust all interested oologists 

 will lend us their prayers until that 

 occasion arrives, because we are 

 "skeered." 



Notice.

 Zone.
