On our way back (from a walk this morning with W. Deane) 
we passed through the Glacial Hollow to see what the Cooper's 
Hawks were about. The male barked at us as we approached and 
we started the female from her nest which is placed in a tall 
pine nearly 50 feet above the ground. Under the trees near 
the nest we found where the Hawks had picked a Robin and a 
Yellow-billed Cuckoo scattering wing, tail and body feathers 
over the ground. The female Hawk looked very large. She left 
the nest before we quite got beneath it and flew off very 
heavily and clumsily for a bird of this kind. 
After dinner Deane climbed to the nest and found that it 
contained only one egg. It was lined with bark and a few pine 
needles . 
The Cooper's Hawk started from the nest in the Glacial 
Hollow as Holden was passing beneath it. 
Spent the forenoon photographing birds' nests exposing 
plates on “ the Cooper's Hawk's (deserted) in the Glacial 
Hollo?/. ; ; 
Pursuing a Downy Woodpecker. 
On the afternoon of the 4th I was standing under an oak 
. in the Barrett woods when I heard a Downy Woodpecker calling 
chick, chick rapidly and excitedly. Presently the bird came in 
sight "galloping" through the tree tops with a male Cooper's 
2 - 2 .
