Icterus spurius. 
Cambridge 
1894. 
May 50. 
Mass . 
In Cambridge Cemetery (which I visited late this after- 
noon) the most interesting observation which I made was the 
finding of a pair of Orchard Orioles which acted as if they 
had a nest in one of the wild apple trees near the southern 
end of the knoll beyond the creek on the Coolidge farm. I saw 
the female twice in the Cemetery, once alone in a willow on . 
the edge of the marsh, once with the male in a rum cherry. 
On both occasions she flew back to the wild apple on the knoll, 
The male was an adult in rich chestnut and black plumage. He 
bi^d 
did not sing but both he and the female gave the 31ack-like 
ft 
chatter repeatedly.
