Relation of Summer Birds to Western Adirondack Forest 477 



nest was on the sloping rocky ground about three feet from the 

 water's edge, in a spot overhung by brush so that it was partially 

 concealed; it was made of short pieces of rootlets from the adja- 

 cent shrubs, laid together in a depression of the soil on the rock. 

 There were two eggs in this nest, from which one young bird was 

 hatched, and the other &gg was abandoned. The pieces of root 

 of which this nest was composed were from one-fourth to one-half 

 an inch in diameter and from four to six or eight inches long, the 

 whole making a very substantial framework.
