June 25.

3. Sialia arctica. — Nesting in deserted Woodpecker’s holes. 
4. Regulus calendula. — Everywhere among the firs. 
5. Parus montanus. — Common. It never whistles more than two 
successive notes, at least I have never heard it. 
6. Sitta carolinensis aculeata. — One pair found breeding in the 
knot-hole of a large fir. Young hatched on or shoi'tly before the 25 June. 
7. Neocorys spraguei. — A pair breeding on a high, grass-covered 
knoll just outside the timber. The male was often observed flying high 
overhead, constantly shifting his position, but keeping at about the same 
elevation while uttering his song — a rather monotonous carol, unless one 
is sufficiently near to hear the wonderful resonance of the blended notes. 
8. Dendroeca auduboni. — Common. 
9. Pyranga ludoviciana. - — Rather common. A female observed 
nest-building June 26, the male meantime singing in a neighboring tree- 
top. July 3 the nest was apparently completed but without eggs. It was 
built in a fir some thirty feet from the ground and about midway on a 
small horizontal limb where several twigs projected out on either side. 
10. Cotyle riparia. — Swallows apparently of this species were seen 
flying high overhead. Their homes were found lower down on the 
streams.

appeared almost daily, uttering their querulous notes. 
14. Pooecetes gramineus confinis. — Common on the grassy slopes,
