Concord, Mass.
1899.
June
(i)
  Coturniculus henslowi. - In addition to the bird noted on
May 11th near the Barrett farm I heard four additional males
singing near Concord in June, three on the 10th in Carlisle,
the fourth on the 25th in the meadow below Cyrus Clarks' in 
Concord.
  Coturniculus passerinus. - A bird heard singing in the Keyes'
pasture May 7th & again on the 28th was the only one
met with this season although in June I took many long
drives about Concord & through the bordering towns.
  Myiarchus crinitus. - A pair of three Flycatchers bred in the
Barrett orchard this season and I saw another pair at
the upper end of the Estabrook road in Carlisle on
June 10th.
  Sayornis phoebe. - The Phoebees [sic] at the Barrett farm reared
two broods in the same nest this season. The nest was placed
in a mortice hole in a beam in a dark corner of the barn
cellar. I first saw it on April 28 when it was nearly finished.
On May 8th it held four eggs but the bird was absent. Another
egg was probably added the following morning for the nest contained
five on the 22nd. After this it was examined daily. The young
hatched on the 27th and left the nest fifteen days later,
ie on June 11th. On June 24th I found four eggs, which
looked fresh, in the same nest. It did not look as if the
birds had done anything to it. The [female] was flitting about &
apparently had not begun sitting again. She reared the second
brood safely but I do not know just when they
were launched on wing.
