Michigan Ornithological Club 63 



As we go to press we hear from Mr. Norman A. Wood, as follows: 

 Oscoda County, July 3rd. Started out at 6 145 this morning to look up D. 

 Kirtlandi and had five fine males in my basket before 9 o'clock. No females 

 found so I suppose they are setting very close — no nests found yet. Have 

 found nest with two young of the Gt. Northern Shrike ; young are full fledged, 

 nest not very bulky, built in pine tree. 



We shall expect a more extended sketch of this trip by Michigan's well 

 known "warbler man" for our next issue. 



Just after this issue had gone to press Mr. Wood returned home 

 from his trip north in quest of the Kirtland's Warbler with very grati- 

 fying success, having obtained a fine series of skins, male, female, nest- 

 lings, full-fledged young, nest and eggs. 



Mr. Wood also obtained some two dozen photographs of the birds 

 (in life) and their nests. The material of this trip prepared by Mr. 

 Wood and illustrated by the photographs, will be given to our readers 

 in the third issue. The editor also hopes to be able to give a colored 

 plate of the egg. There shall also be articles on the rare and interesting 

 bird by Chas. C. Adams, A. B. Covert and Earl H. Frothingham.
