to afford it much concealment. The Jay might have found it 
easily enough had he not looked too high up in the trees. 
When I passed it on my way back, one of the birds was sitting. 
I did not disturb her, for the Jay had returned and was 
screaming not far off. Solitary Vireos are exceptionally 
numerous here this spring. There is one singing at Bal^s 
Hill, another behind Bensen 1 s and a third near Pulpit Rock. 
The nest found to-day was empty and deserted when I next 
visited it on May 26. No doubt the Jays found and robbed it.
