As iTO stood on the ridge of the mountain listening to the 

 BiclmelUs Thrushes v^e heard in the distance belov; an Oliver^backed 

 Thrush singing and still more faintly the song of a Hermit Tbrush, 

 Thus all three birds v;ere in hearing at once but nevertheless the 

 range of the Biclmell-'-s is unquestionably much higher than that of 

 the other two. At its lower limits it overlaps by several himdred 

 feet probably the upper limits of the vertical distribution of T_-.

At an el'.3vation of about' 3500 feet we began to hear Biclmell's 

 Thrushes and I got out and joined Faxon in searching for their 

 nests in a very favorable place where there were dense thickets of 

 young firs forming an undergrowth to a woods of spruces and firs 

 55 to 40 feet in height. Two birds were singing here and we starts 

 ed two others which we tools, to be females but we could find nothing 

 but two old nests both evidently those of some kind of Thrushes and 

 both built in small firs. We finally became discouraged and start*-' 

 ed up the road turning into the woods wherever we heard a Blcknell*^ 

 Thrush singing and looking awhile for its nest, always vainly. The 

 birds were very numerous and usually very tame. Indeed we might 

 have shot eight or ten of them had we wished.
