Breeding Notes. — ^This bird breeds at Banff, Rocky mountains. 

 On June 9th, 1893, we found its nest and four eggs. The nest was 

 built on a bank side, and we caught the bird as she flew off the nest. 

 Other nests were taken at Banff, 1893, and these also were placed 

 on the side of the bank. (W. Raine.)

 755. Wood Thrush. 



Hylocichla mustelina (Gmel.) Ridgw. 1880. 



Accidental visitant at Montreal. This thrush is said to occur 

 in the Eastern Townships, but I have never met with it in this 

 district yet. Have seen one specimen taken at Roxton falls. Que. 

 (Wintle.) A rare summer resident around Ottawa. (Ottawa. 

 Naturalist, Vol. V.) I have seen a few of these birds in Leeds county, 

 Ont., but they are not common. A few breed as I have met with 

 a nest from which the young had flown, that evidently belonged 

 to this species; and another on a limb of a hemlock about eight 

 feet from the ground in Frontenac county, in June, 1902. (Rev. C. 

 J. Young.) Regular migrant at Toronto, Ont. ; rare summer resi- 

 dent, breeds. I have one taken at Emsdale, Parry Sound district, on 

 May 17th, 1897; in September, 1898, near the narrows of Lake 

 Joseph, I came across a flock feeding on choke-cherries. I counted 

 seventeen and there were more in the flock. Dr. Brodie says 

 they were common in June at Port Sydney, Muskoka. (/. H. 

 Fleming.) Common during migrations; breeds in limited num- 

 bers at Guelph, Ont. Arrives about May loth and leaves about 

 September nth. (A. B. Klugh.) A common resident and breed- 

 ing at Penetanguishene, Ont., I once found a nest in a hardwood 

 undergrowth, placed in the forks of a beech about seven feet from 

 the ground. (A. F. Young.)
