(No. 17)
  Parus atricapillus:- Common. Song (phoebee) heard July 14 & 20
and Aug. 2 & 9. A nest containing young about
ready to fly found Aug. 9th. The hole was
near the top of a pile that formed one of the
outer supports of the run way of the ice house
at Cunningham Pond and was fully 15 feet above
the water.
  Regulus satrapa. - Abundant in spruce grown pastures and
mixed spruce and hemlock woods (Ben Mere farm,
Cunningham Pond and base of Pack Monadnock).
Heard singing July 6,18 & 20. A brood of eight or
nine young in company with Chickadees & Warblers
met with July 23rd.
  Mniotilta varia .- Common. Young on wing July 7.
  Helminthophila ruficapilla.- Abundant and very generally
distributed but seen oftenest in spruce-grown
pastures and thickets bordering roadsides or second growth
woods. This species, like H. chrysoptera does not sing 
often or freely after the close of June but here
it continued in full song up to July 21st. when I 
heard it for the last time (July 7*2  11*1  12*1 18*1 19*2  20 *1  21*1)
On July 23rd I found the two young which had nearly
completed their autumnal plumage.
  Dendroica coronata.- Found sparingly in spruce, hemlock, and
white pine woods. Ceased singing July 21st. (July 17*1
18*1  19*1  20*2  21*1),
