  For several weeks past I have heard a Solitary Vireo
singing in the Swamp west of Davis Hill. I found its
nest this afternoon on Pine Ridge. As I was passing
along the crest of the ridge, following a cart path, a
small bird darted from a spray of foliage near the
extremity of a drooping branch of a white pine just
above the level of my head (about 7 feet above the ground)
and scarce a foot to one side of my face.
Immediately after alighting it began singing & I found
it was a Solitary Vireo. The next instant its mate
appeared and both birds began uttering a low scolding
chatter. I saw the nest almost as soon as I
began looking for it and drawing it down a little
by the tip of the branch found that it contained
four eggs, which looked quite fresh. The nest was
less ornate than usual &, indeed, almost exactly
like that of a Red-eye. The eggs, also, resembled
those of the Red-eye having only a few fine
spots. This is the first Solitary's nest that I
have found in this neighborhood for several 
years past.
