Dendrooca caerulescens, 
Maine (Lake Umbagog). 
Aug. 11. Came upon a brood of four vary young birds in 
plumage, attended by both parents. The family moved 
rapidly through the woods, keeping rather low dov/n, 4ho 
young tv/it6Gring loudly and incessantly. One note of 
tho adult is a soft cluch precisely like that of Junco. 
Sept.33. Several along the banks of Cambridge River. 
ordinary note is exactly like that of the Junco.

Yew directly under a large prostrate log and about fif¬ 
teen inches above the ground. Male singing about thirty 
yards off. Tho female started from tho nest when I v/as 
about fifteen feet av/ay and quickly returned, chirping 
incessantly, ^Jjen the male joined her and flitted about 
near by quivering and trailing his wings, and spreading 
his tail. The locality was a hillside covered v/ith 
spruce and beach with an undergrowth of Yew. 
They are much more abundant along the Anover road 
than I have over found them elsev/'here in this region. 
I think they prefer higher land than that about the 
Lake. I hoard three males singing at one time to-day, 
and many single ones, all in woods whore Viburnum la nta— 
noid^ formed the only undergrovrth, there being no ground 
hemlock or young firs. 
Abundant in Grafton Notch. 
A last year’s nest in Yew. Like the tv;o found 
last v/Gok, and unlike tho one taken last year, it v/as 
placed in tho fork of an upright spray and dould be 
seen several rods off. These nests, with their thick 
v/allr. of inner folted bark and lining of black roo^lots 
are at once distinguishable from those of any other Warb¬ 
ler breeding here. 
Set B-3. Incubated about eight days—arbor-vitae
