CONCORD. 
[A heavy flight of migrants arrived during the night. 
Soon after breakfast I walked around Ball’s Hill, seeing two 
Wilson’s Thrushes and hearing a Maryland Yellow-throat and an 
©ven-bird in full song. At about 10 A. M. Will Bartlett 
called and reported seeing a Cat-bird, four or five Nashville 
Warblers and a number of Yellow Warblers at Concord. Later 
in the day I heard a Yellow Warbler opposite Ball’s Hill. 
Bartlett and I took a long walk in the latter part 
of the forenoon. We heard a second Oven-bird, a Chestnut¬ 
sided W a rbler, two Ruby-crowned Kinglets, seven or eight 
Black-throated Green TIarblers and a number of Yellow-rumps, 
besides three or four Yellow Palm Wrrblers. We saw a Nashville 
Warbler and heard a Junco twittering. 
Just after we had crossed Davis’s Swamp and were 
entering Prescott’s Pines, following the old wood-road, 
a Carolina Dove started from a dense white pine and flew 
slowly off, pretending to be partially disabled. We suspected 
a nest at once and soon discovered it on a stout horizontal 
branch three or four feet out from the tree and about eight 
feet above the ground. Strange to say, I have neither seen 
nor heard a Dove in these woods before this spring, although 
one cooed there last jear. The nest held two eggs which looked 
dark as if slightly incubated. 
Scarce fifteen minutes later we found a Partridge’s 
nest with thirteen deep buff-colored eggs. It was in 
Mrs. Barrett's woods, only a few rods back from the old apple
