DELAWARE VALLEY ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB 21 



During the evening it cleared and we all walked up the Lake 

 road to the vicinity of Wolf's Spring Run, where we found 

 Canadian Warblers in comparative abundance. The natural 

 conditions here are similar to those of Butz Run and support 

 similar bird-types. It was interesting to note the Chewink as 

 a characteristic bird of the open shagnum bogland adjacent to 

 this area, amid conditions so dissimilar to typical Carolinian 

 country. 



On the next day Carter slipped out in the early morning 

 without arousing any of us as, if he had something important 

 on his mind, only to return shortly and announce that there 

 was an egg in the Alder Flycatcher's nest. This was a wel- 

 come declaration. 



Upon leaving the bungalow after breakfast we split forces ; 

 Baily and Hughes going up to Wolf's Spring Run and Carter, 

 Stuart and myself holding Butz Run as our destination. Our 

 purpose was to further examine the supposed nests of the Nash- 

 ville Warbler, a day having intervened since our initial visit. 

 We were disappointed not to find a single egg in any of the nests ; 

 nor were we able to determine by the actions of the bird any- 

 thing that would indicate ownership. Both the Nashville 

 Warbler and the Yellow-bellied Flycatcher frequented the areas 

 as before. 



Out in the open barrens at the head of Butz Run could be 

 heard the call of the Olive-sided Flycatcher and it was interest- 

 ing to identify here as well the Alder Flycatcher, which we had 

 associated heretofore only with the borders of the Lake. 



Upon our return Carter flushed a Hermit Thrush from its 

 nest, set even with the ground in a bed of Wintergreen. 



Baily and Hughes had been more successful; Baily had 

 found another Canadian Warbler's nest with two eggs at Wolf's 

 Spring Run ; Hughes had located a White-throated Sparrow's 

 nest with four eggs and among sphagnum moss a Chewink' s 

 nest with young. 



In the early afternoon Bailey, Hughes and myself left for 

 home. As we motored from the Camp to the railroad station 

 we noted several old barns where Cliff Swallows had established 

 nesting-sites along the eaves. Forty nests were counted along 

 a single eave.
