.^This morning Watrous took me to the nest of I).cagrulee- 
oens which he found building May 24th. It had four eggs to¬ 
day and the female was sitting. She was very tame allowing me 
to set up my camera within four feet of the nest and when 
started off returning within a few minutes and resuming her 
task. The nest was on Spelman's Point on a hillside in a 
hollow surrounded by fallen spruce tops, densely shaded by 
big hemlocks and filled with a rank growth of yew. I got 
several pictures of the nest and sitting bird 
Watrous took me to another nest of L.oaerulescans this 
morning - in a bed of stunted yew within two rods of the path 
to Glaspy Cove and not far from the latter. I photographed 
the nest but the bird was too shy and nervous to catch on my 
plate.
