in only one instance did we encounter any birds whose actions yave us any reason 
to believe tliat they were actually nesting. 
This was a Least Sandpiper which was seen on a small stretch of sandy 
l)each on May 24, 1907 ; and a week later (May 30) the same bird ( iiresumably ) 
was seen at the same place and exhibited some excitement at our intrusion. The 
bird was very tame and even when frightened, refused to leave the vicinity of 
the supposed nesting site. However the most minute search failed to reveal a 
nest. 
As we were unsuccessful in making any definite discoveries the actual dates 
will be given, leaving the reader to form his own opinions.
