Ashby One in a little bit of springy meadow in a 
pasture on ""the” side of Mt Watatic at an elevation of aboutJIOOO 
feet; another in a larger 1 meadow sprinkled thickly wit^ br^& berry 
and other low bushes within about 400 yards of n r. Brook s' ' house 
in Ashby. The former bird was singing intermittently at about 
five o'clock on the afternoon of .Tune :46th, the latter was not 
once heard during the day time, but every evening began singing at 
about the same time as the Whipoorwill and sung incessantly 
at intervals <?f from three to seven seconds each as late as we re- 
mained up to hear it, or on the average until about II o'clock PM 
Once during the night I woke and heard it still singing, probably 
about two or three o' clock in the morning.
