NOTES. 

 Bouldee, Colorado, Birds Increasing. — Owing to various 

 causes, birds are noticeably increasing in numbers at Boulder. 

 This is especially true of the Mountain Bluebird (Sialia arctica) and 

 the Western Robin (Merula migratoria propinqud). It is not uncom- 

 mon to see 100 robins at a time in the orchard covering half a 

 block of ground, at the rear of my home, in the early morning. 

 It seems to me, as others have often noticed, that the House 

 Finch (Carpodacus mexicanus frontalis) is becoming more numerous 

 each year; and this year I have seen more Juncoes of various 

 species than usual. It must be regretfully added that the most 

 disliked European importation, Passer domestlcus, has reached 

 Boulder during the past few years and is rapidly spreading its 

 numbers over the city.— Junius Henderson. 



Lakewood, N. J., April 18, 1902. -Clear. Wind west. 52°. 9 to 

 12 A. M. In a meadow back of the farm a pair of Bluebirds were 

 gathering nesting material and loving each other. They flew 

 straight to a tree which had a large shallow hole and entered it. 

 When they flew away I examined the tree and found a beautiful 

 nest almost finished. Further on a Tufted Titmouse responded 

 to my whistled call. In an apple orchard Goldfinches were sing- 

 ing loudly, with Robins and Chipping Sparrows. A mile beyond, 

 in the cemetery, a pair of Robins were building a nest in a pine 

 tree, and a pair of Pine Warblers were building on a projecting 

 pine branch. The nest was about fifteen feet from the ground, 

 on the very tip end of the branch. I watched a long while with 

 field glass while both birds brought feathers and soft wisps of dead 

 grass. The nest was deep, cup-shaped and as large as a breakfast 

 cup, very soft and downy looking, with many white feathers.
