UPTON, MAINE 
1871 
42. D. Pennsylvanica . Occurs quite plentifully all the way up 
the Valley. It is not at all scarce at Upton in the clearings 
along the edge of the woods. 
43. D,striata . Took a female the first morning , Mary 31st, 
probably a straggler from the migration as we did not see it 
afterward, though Verril gives it as "very common at the Urn. 
lakes bredding". Found them quite abundant at Bethel May 30th 
in the apple orchards, 
44. D.maculosa . Common everywhere especially along the wood 
paths and edges of clearings. Kept always low down in the 
branches when in the woods. One nest found June 8th and two 
others June 9th were all built about breast high in a small fir 
and contained each four freash eggs, 
45. D.tigrina . Very common everywhere but especially in the 
thickets of tall firs. Song precisely like D.castanea and 
habits very similar, but rather more active, keeping always 
near the tops of the highest trees and occasionally launching 
out after a passing insect. They also had a habit of sitting 
perfectly motionless on the topmost pinnocle of some enormous 
spruce or fir for ten or fifteen minutes at a time and singing 
at regular intervals: at such time they were extremely hard 
to see, and when shot were almost certain to lodge on the 
spreading branches. The females,like the opposite sex, always 
kept high up in the trees: we took several that were about to 
lay and one shot June 9th had evidently deposited all but her 
last egg.
