*^Tvo nosts, ono with ono, tho oth r ’with throo oggs. 
Tho first was built precisely like tho nost of a Wood 
Thrush, on a prong of a doad birch some four foot above 
tho ground, Tho position of tho second was unique—in 
a hollow scooped in tho north that adhered to tho roots 
of a fallen tree, and perfectly concealed by a portion 
of the bank which projected above it. The situation 
of this nost was in every way similar to that usually 
choson by tho Water Thrush. Tho bird was sitting and 
did not start till I placed my hand on the root directly 
over her head. Two other nests of this Thrush wore ta-

kon this morning, oach with four eggs. In the after¬ 
noon I found two : ore in Grafton one in a very slender 
spruce sapling, at least twenty foot above tho ground. 
Tho bird sat closely and contrary to the rulo returned 
while 1 was taking tho oggs and 3*0per. godly alighted -with¬ 
in four foot of my head reiterating her liquid poonk. 
This nost contained four oggs^. 
Found four nests; one with four eggs, one with 
throo, ono -with two, and ono with one. One" of those h u 
nosts was' built about two foot above tho ground in tho 
top of a fallen spruce; another in an arbor-vitae about 
fifteen foot above tho ground; a third about fifteen 
foot above the ground on some twigs that branched out 
from tho trunk of a huge birch. 
“ 16. 
Four nests; with three, three, four, and four oggs 
respectively. Ono built in an arbor-vitae about ton 
foot above tho ground contained a sot of four oggs, 'which b 3 - 
are unlike any that I have over seen being nearly, if 
not quite, as largo as Robin’s oggs and very heavily 
blotched arid spotted. 
Another nost was built on a horizontal prong of a < f 
fallen spruce, about five foot above tho ground! ‘ i( *" ''
