Nest of Botaurus Curvirostra Am. [Curvirostra americana]
MAINE, (L. Umbagog. [Umbagog Lake, Maine]) Nest of D. coronata [Dendroica coronata]
[Nest of Tyrannus] Car. [Tyrannus carolinensis]
1876.
Saturday
June 10 [June 10, 1876] Cloudy in forenoon. Clear in P.M. H.A. 
Purdie [Henry Augustus Purdie] came last night and there are
now five of us scientifics here. After
breakfast P[urdie] & I hunted through the 
savins & I found a nest of D. coronata [Dendroica coronata]
with three eggs & one of D. maculosa [Dendroica maculosa]
nearly finished. The former I left.
Next went out on the lake & I
visited the nest of Botaurus found
last Monday but it had evidently
been deserted as no more had
been laid and the original two
were cold. On our way back found
a nest of Quiscalus in a stub with
one egg, probably a second laying of
one of the birds that Bailey robbed.
Harrington & Stone found two nests
of Aegilaeus phoeniceus [Agelaius phoeniceus] with 4 eggs
each on the floating island.
The Colaptes that I robbed Thursday
was in her hole & will probably
lay again. I found also a nearly
completed nest of Tyrannus [Tyrannus carolinensis] in
the tip of a hollow stub. Spent
the whole P.M. in blowing up my
eggs and packing skins.
  The woods are now in full leaf
and the plum trees in the garden
are shedding their blossoms.
  No signs of H. peregrina [Haliaeetus peregrina] of D. tigrina [Dendroica tigrina]
as we have not heard them anywhere
for several days. The moosewood
has shed its blossoms and the
Trilium is gone by.
The warblers are all building now
