 1S94. A hot, sultry day. . We started up the mountain (Mt. 



June 10. Moosilauke) at 7.30 A.M., Faxon (W. ) walliinfc,, Batohelder and 

 I in the wagon. At an elevation of about 3500 ft. we begai* 

 to hear BicKnell's Thrushes and I got out and joined Faxon' in 

 searching for their nests in a very favorable place 'ffhere 

 there were dense thickets of young firs forming an undergrowth 

 to a 7/ood of spruces and firs, 35 to 40 ft. in height.. Two 

 birds were singing here and we started two others which we 

 too 41 to be females b\it we could find nothing but two old nests 

 both evidently tl-iose of some kind of Thrushes and both built 

 in small firs. We finally became discouraged axid started vip 

 the road turning into the woods wherever we heard a BicXnell's 

 Thrush singing, and looking awhile for its nest, always vain- 

 ly. The birds were very nurfierous and usually verj/' tame. In- 

 deed we might have shot eight or ten of them had we wished.
