Nest in Pinus banksiana on the end of r noint. ir-nna 
incubated about tendays. Height twelve feet. This nest 
v/as on a, horizontal branch about five feet from the 
trunk. It v/as so conspicuous that I saw it v/hile pad¬ 
dling by in my boat. The female sat so closely that I 
shook the branch several times before she would start. 
When she did fly, hov/evor, she immediately disappeared 
and was not again seen.
