eggs. She sat wonderfully close refusing to move when
Watrous shook or waved the branch gently or when he
thrust out a stick & poked the twigs within a few
inches of her head. I have described the position of this
nest & the behavior of the bird too fully in my systematic
notes to require further mention here. Watrous got the
nest by tying the branch firmly to other branches above
& then crawling out on it.
  No bird was seen near the other nest but its character
& that of the eggs leave us no doubt in my mind as
to its ownership.

  As we approached our moorings this evening in
the deepening twilight I heard a Veery and a
Catbird singing near the steamer landing & one or
two other Veeries calling along the shore further to
the westward. Olive backs were singing on Birch &
B. Points & a Night-hawk peeping in the distance.
A Barred Owl hooted over in the cove north of
B. Point.

  Hylas have peeped more or less freely every night
since I reached the Lake last month. To-night they
were in full chorus in every direction. They always
seem to become silent here soon after 9 P.M. Toads, also,
have been trilling in goodly numbers this evening but
I heard none up the Lake.
