Breezy Point, Warren, N.H.
1894
June 27
  A hot, sultry day with a heavy thunder shower in the P.M.
  Faxon and I spent the entire forenoon in the beautiful
woods between the Moosilauke House and the river; before
this we have merely passed through them by the central
path but to-day we explored them rather thoroughly.
finding a number of paths which lead to all the
prettier nooks and corners with seats under the
trees at convenient intervals and bridges across all
the brooks. The place has indeed been laid out much
after the plan of my woods at Ball's Hill and, as
a rule, with excellent taste but vandals have barked
nearly all the paper birches on or near the paths.
  We found a great many birds - among them the
Bay-breasted Warbler heard yesterday but nothing else 
of any particular interests. A Blackburnian Warbler
puzzled us at first by his peculiar song; witchee-witchee-
witchee-witchee all the notes on the same key without
the usual high ending, the tone squeaky and emphatic.
We saw two Solitary Vireos together near a brook
and found a nest, which we took to be that of
D. virens, on the low branch of a spruce over a path.
It was new and neat but empty. Near it in an
opening were the skeletons of two young Sharp-shinned Hawks.
They must have been shot by someone last year.

D. blackburniae[/margin]
  We visited the Black-throated Blue Warbler's nest which
I found on the 25th and took it. The young had all
departed but the male parent sang a few times near by.
An addled egg lay in the bottom of the nest which was
[delete]built[/delete]thoroughly soaked by the recent rains. I took both nest &
egg.
