Miscellaneous Bird Notes.
1902.
  Mr. Earle Stafford (of 50 Irving St. Cambridge) writes
me that Mr. Horace W. Wright of Boston found
a Cape May Warbler in the Public Garden, Boston,
on May 11. The next day (12th) it was seen by
several persons including Bradford Torey and Mr. Stafford.

  An Orchard Oriole ("male in full plumage & song")
was seen at Ipswich, Mass. on May 17 by Mr. Earle
Stafford of Cambridge.

  Mr. Richard S. Eustis of Cambridge writes me that
on May 18, 1902 he & his friend Howard Turner "found
a female Hairy Woodpecker and her nest in 'Fairyland'
[Concord, Mass.]. The nest was on the eastern shore of
the pond well up in a dead limb between the
path and the water x x x The trail beneath it was
covered with chips and the young birds were peeping
loudly. On the twentieth of last October Mr. Eustis
"saw a female in the same place.

  Mr. Eustis also writes me that on May 18, 1902
he and Mr. Turner "found a pair of Grasshopper Sparrows,
singing, on the western side of the Cambridge Reservoir 
in Lincoln [Mass.], near where Concord Turnpike
crosses it." This is most interesting as showing how these
birds cling to certain localities for in this very place
I heard a Grashopper Sparrow singing upwards of
thirty years ago while driving to Concord with my
old friend Chas. M. Carter.
