Dendroica virens . 
Breezy Point, Warren, H.H. Nest. 
1894. Immediately after breakfast Faxon (W. ) and I took our 
July 2. last walk through the beautiful park-like woods between Moosi- 
lauke House and the river. A little beyond we stopped to 
look at a nest which we found on the morning of the 27th June. 
It was empty then and although evidently a new nest I had 
little hope that it would ever be laid in, but this morning 
we saw a tail projecting over the rim and on driving off the 
bird it proved to be a Black-throated Green Warbler . The nest 
was built directly aver the path on the horizontal branch of 
a spruce about ten feet from the main stem and nearly the same 
distance above the ground. From beneath this nest was very 
conspicuous (it was composed of light grayish materials with 
some birch bark ) but some clusters of spruce needles pressed 
down close around and over it concealing it from above. It 
could not have been taken without sawing off the branch and as 
we had no time for this we left it unmolested.
