 I have seen it in "summer ; I once found a nest 'in June, 1899, 

 built in a bushy second growth maple about seven feet from t^he 

 ground, not far from the Grand Trunk Railway at Lansdowne.

 transient visitant in the district of Montreal. Mr. Kuetzing says

 many years looking for its occurence Mr.McIlwraith obtained one 

 specimen near Hamilton in May, 1885. [See Birds of Ontario,
