when you are near the nest and lingers 

 nearby while the male selects a tree 

 a little farther away but interrupts 

 his feeding now and then to look you 

 over and to utter a few encouraging 

 notes to his mate. They nest here 

 about May 10th and when disturbed 

 lay a second set but think one brood 

 a season is what they intend to raise. 

 The last nest I found of the little 

 Red Breasted she had for neighbors, 

 a Ruffed Grouse, who had scratched a 

 few leaves together for her nest that 

 contained thirteen eggs at the foot of 

 a big pine, — a Phoebe had placed her 

 nest, that had five eggs, under a shelv- 

 ing bit of the ledge and in a little ten 

 foot pine, six foot up, a Blue-headed 

 Vireo had made a nest and layed two 

 eggs. Making in all a very interesting 

 group of bird-life.
