Figure 129. A typical view in the Burn showing the re-occupation of the 

 ground by a thick growth of shrubs and young trees, following 

 a heavy fire of eight years ago. The character of the obstacles 

 encountered in searching for birds' nests is here apparent. ... 410 



Figure 130. A sunlit space at the edge of the Burn, showing a blueberry 

 shrub in fruit, overhung by aspens and fire cherry. The 

 blueberries are a favorite bird food 410 



Figure 131. The Burn, back of the Camp, showing dense shrub growth, with 

 intermingled sapling trees. The home of White-throated 

 Sparrows and Chestnut-sided Warblers 413 



Figure 132. An area of the Burn, with nesting sites of Goldfinch (in birch 

 sapling in middle foreground) and House Wren (in top of dead 

 tree). This association includes fire cherry, maple, birch 

 and aspen saplings. Mature forest in background 413 



Figure 133. A small stream in the Burn, affording drinking and bathing 

 places for the birds. A favorite haunt of the Chestnut-sided 

 Warbler 414 



Figure 134. Meadow along Sucker Brook. Note invasion of alders, making 

 conditions particularly favorable to the Song Sparrow and 

 Maryland Yellow-throat. Woodpeckers use the dead stand- 

 ing trees for nesting and foraging places 414 



Figure 135. Meadow along Sucker Brook, bordering the dense, original forest. 

 The stumps indicate the former character of area cut over. 

 Ruffed Grouse, Hermit Thrushes and Olive-sided Flycatchers 

 inhabit the evergreen forest 417 



Figure 136. A Bog Conifer Clearing, showing typical bog shrubs, with 

 tamarack saplings and dead tamaracks. Its open character 

 makes this a favorite habitat for birds 417 



Figure 137. A Bog Conifer area. The bog shrubs are interspersed with 

 white pine on the slight elevations. A few broadleaf trees 

 were left after lumbering. Favorite habitat of the White- 

 throated Sparrow, Lincoln's Sparrow and Myrtle Warbler. ... 418 



Figure 138. Meadow Bog, at margin of dense conifer forest. Cleared bog 

 forest at left, open meadow at right, and conifer forest in dis- 

 tance, furnishing three distinct habitats 418 



Figure 139. Rocky shore of Sucker Brook Inlet, at Barber Point, showing 

 character of mixed forest, mostly second growth saplings. 

 Margin of lumbered clearing at left 42 1 



Figure 140. View on Sucker Brook, showing tangle of vegetation along its 

 banks. Dead birches at left, with living spruces beyond. 

 A haunt of the Water-Thrush and Solitary Sandpiper 421 



Figure 141. A pool on lower part of Sucker Brook, formed by encroaching 

 alders and fallen branches. Song Sparrows and White- 

 throated Sparrows are commonly singing in the alder thickets, 

 and the pool is the home of the Water-Thrush 430
