1896. Watrous found this morning a Hermit's nest on the Knoll 
May IS. behind the -school house. I saw the nest this afternoon. It 
contained four eggs of which one was slightly spotted. The 
nest is in an opening among some little balsams (about a foot 
high) deeply sunk in the ground - a typical situation. We 
did not disturb the eggs.

1898. / Just before daybreak I heard the flight call of a Trush 
Sept.9. or Grosbeak in the distance. The bird approached rapidly and 
circled low over the Point as I could tell by the distance of 
its notes. Finally it alighted in the bushes very near the 
tent and began making the whining e.-e-.e cry of a Hermit. Up 
to this time I had not been able to make up my mind whether 
the bird was a Thrush or Grosbeak; the night calls of the two 
are really almost indistinguishable I fear.
