75. Turdus mustelinus. Wood Thrush.— As the mountain region 

 is approaclied, the Wood Thrush becomes more and more prominent, thf 

 cool hollows shaded by large oaks and other deciduous trees affording 

 congenial residence. In the mountains, I found them most numerouf 

 from the mid-elevations upwards, but I think the local environment, mor< 

 than the altitude, occasioned their abundance. So common were thei 

 that several performers were often heard at a time in a narrow area — 

 even in the heat of midday. First young shot June 13.

May 24 we drove to Franklin ; the day was hot but beautifully 

 clear. Turdus mustelinus, nowhere rare, became abundant as 

 we ascended ; several nests were taken on the very edge of the 

 road in plain sight of every passer by.
