Notes from Dartmouth, N.S. 



The last time I had this pleasure was on j 

 June 19, and now I beg to submit notes j 

 for balance of the season, and trust they 

 may prove of interest to your readers. 



June 21. To-day being a holiday, I 

 started for the woods about 9 a.m. It 

 was raining pretty hard, but I kept on and 

 borrowing a long ladder carried it out to 

 the Bay-breasted Warbler' s nest that I 

 had found building on the 13th. This 

 was up about twenty-five feet and placed 

 way out on the end of a very long branch 

 of a very big black spruce, and was im- 

 possible to secure without the ladder. The 

 ? was scared off the nest on my going up, 

 and I was delighted to see that it held six 

 eggs ; so the bird has completed the nest 

 and laid the six eggs since the I3th, which 

 left nine days for her to do it in. The 

 eggs were fresh. 



I then went and took the Bay-breasted 

 Warbler's nest that I found built on the 

 1 6th and looked at on evening of the 17th, 

 when it held one egg, and also looked at 

 on evening of the 19th, when it held three 

 eggs, and to-day it held five eggs. This 

 nest was out on end of a black spruce 

 limb, about fifteen feet up from the ground. 

 I shot the ? ; eggs fresh. *r-«tiH-f^TTTtiig
