Birds of DeadRiver Region. Me. F.H. O. 



17. IlelminthopJiagn ruficapilla, (Nasliville War- j 

 blcr). A common summer resident of the county, 



more often observed among the mixed growth of j 



tlie Dead River valley than elsewhere, though it | 



might have been overlooked in the heavily | 



timbered forests of the northern portion. They ! 



were breeding among the scrub on the "plains" ' 



between Eustis and Stratton, as the actions of the i 



birds testified, but diligent search failed to dis- j 



cover a nest. Young birds were also frequently | 

 seen in August.
