  Another marked feature of this remarkable flight has been
the extreme boldness and tameness of many of its numbers.
Birds ordinarily to be found only in deep woods have been
seen in numbers in the towns & villages close about houses
& on several occasions this utter fearlessness has been very
striking.

  Still another noteworthy fact has been the length of time
which individual birds have remained at or near our
spot as, for example, in front of the cabin here or in
the Garden at Cambridge.

unusually
long.
  In the afternoon I visited and photographed the
Nashville Warblers' nest found by C. yesterday. It is
nearer the edge of the woods than I realised when
writing about it in this journal last evening but
nevertheless it is essentially well out in a practically
clear opening where the ground is covered with tufts
of short, withered grass (Andropogon). The female was absent
when I first approached it this afternoon but half-an-hour
later I found her sitting. She slipped off when I was
about 6 ft. away and flew directly into the woods
where she chipped a little during the remainder of
the time that I spent near the nest.
