ing, and that a steady drizzle of rain was falling at the time, 
probably accounts for the extraordinary boldness of the fe- 
male. 
Dawson, in “The Birds of Ohio,” states, “I am not aware 
of a nest’s being definitely reported in the state. During the 
second week in June, birds were feeding full grown young in 
the ravines opening into the valley of the Hock-hocking, near 
Sugar Grove.” This nest was found about one mile west of 
South Bloomingville, Hocking County, and is about fifteen 
miles (as the crow flies) south of Sugar Grove. 
This, therefore, is probably the first nest “definitely re- 
ported in the state.” The environment in this portion of 
Hocking County is evidently ideal for this species, as the 
land ts cut up into deep ravines and valleys with corresponding 
steep, brush-overgrown hillsides. I heard several singing 
males the same day that the nest was discovered, but could 
not locate another nest.
