Dendrolca caerulesoens . 



Breezy Point, Warren, N.H. ITest. 

 1394. Hearing a BlaoK-throated Blue IVarbler (by the roadside 



June 25. near the bridge this norning ) sing a nmber of times in the 



same place behind me I v/ent to the spot and almost immediately 

 saw the nest which v/as placed just 11 inches above the 

 ground near the top of a little spruce sapling v;hich stood a-- 

 lone in a small opening surrotmded by young spruces, maples 

 and birohas ciu a Ivnoll near the road. There were three young 

 birds fully feathered and about to leave and (as I afterwards 

 ascertained ) an addled egg. The female^^was perched in a 

 crouching posture just above the nest and remained thus, per- 

 fectly inmovable, for a minute or more when I stepped forward 

 and startled her. She and the male then caiae flitting about 

 me chirping exactly like Snow-birds. In the afternoon when I 

 took Faxon to see this nest we found that one of the young 

 ha"'d gone. The other two were missing on the morning of the 

 27th but the old male was still singing fitfully near the 

 nest . 



June 27. ^fe visited the Black-throated Blue Warbler's nest which 



I found on the 25th and took it. Tlie young had all departed 

 but the male parent sang a few times near by. An addled egg 

 lay in the bottom of the nest which was thoroughly soaked by 

 the recent rains. I took both nest and egg.
