1396. ^ After launching our boat (at Lakeside) under the old elm 
June 12. we paddled down into the steamer cove where just below the 
school house I was surprised to hear a Wilson's Black-cap sing 
ing. Landing I spent an hour or more searching for its nest. 
The male bird came within two yards or less and followed me a- 
bout resuming its song whenever I passed beyond certain limits 
within which I have little doubt that its mate and nest were 
somewhere concealed. The place was somewhat peculiar - low 
and springy ground with thickets of alders alternating with 
small openings and-with many moss-covered mounds and boulders 
all of which I inspected with especial care. The male bird 
did not once chirp but yet its manner led me to infer at once 
that it was settled and nesting.
