On the lower edge of the Barrett orchard this morning we 
saw a Great-crested Flycatcher, the first that I have met with 
this year. It flew from an apple tree into the pine woods 
where we drove it on ahead of us for some distance. It was 
absolutely silent and very tame, allowing us to get within a 
few yards. If it has nested in the old orchard it is singular 
that I have not heard it there during some of my visits to 
I 
the Partridge's nest. 
One at Ball's Hill. 
There was one new corner, to-day, a Great-crested Fly- 
catcher, the first I have ever seen at Ball's Hill. It was 
flitting about in the tops of some oaks near the river path 
about 100 yards west of the cabin and was silent and unusually 
tame and sluggish. 
A pair of these Flycatchers bred in the Barrett orchard 
this season and I saw another pair at the upper end of the 
Ester brook road in Carlisle on June 10th.'
