Birds of Dead River Region, Me. F.H.O. 



2. Ilylocielda ustulata swaimoni, (Olive-backed 

 Thrush). Fairly common. More often observed 

 in the hard wood forests around the cultivated 

 tields of the southern portion of Franklin county, 

 than in the dense spruce tracts further north, 

 while in Somerset county they were more common 

 in the northern portion. A nest containing three 

 eggs was brought to me while at Flagstaff, "Taken 

 from among the roots of an overturned spruce 

 about as high as my head," was the ill-constructed 

 phrase of the youth who secured them for me.
