THE OOLOGIST 



The Yellow Warbler. 



On July 10, 1916, while camping on 

 a small island in northern Lake Huron 

 I found a well-concealed nest of the 

 Yellow Warbler in a thick gooseberry 

 bush at one corner of our tent. It 

 contained three fresh eggs at the time 

 as was shown by the fact that they 

 did not hatch until the twentieth. The 

 female was absolutely fearless, both 

 when incubating and while taking care 

 of her young. She would not leave 

 the nest even while I was putting up 

 the camera within two feet of her. On 

 the 28th the young left the nest. 



The three enclosed pictures were 

 the best ones that I secured.
