Oriole* s Nests 
While I til ink of it I must tell you about the Oriole's nests 
that I saw in Canton last November. Two were in apple-trees and. 
two in white oaks (within a small area ) t el igible sites in elms 
were near at hand. I wondered whether a pair or two of Orchard 
Orioles were not domiciled there in the summer.

Orchard Oriole. Putting this year’s experi- 
ence to that of former years makes, me think 
the set is more often four than five.
