Geothlypis Philadelphia. 
Maine (Lake Umbagog ). 
(Aug. 14): Shot a young bird in full fall plumage among the 
sgrubery in the garden. It v;as very taroe, allov/ing mo 
to approach v/'ithin a fev/' feet. In addition to the 
sharp chirp already described it ut^.orod the faint lisp 
common to nearly all Warblers. I shot one in nearly 
the same place yesterday afternoon.

Shot a male in a log heap. He jerked his tail 
repeatedly like Geothlypis trichas and uttered a harah 
whink, wheink alrhost precisely like that of Opornis agi- 
lis.

Tv;o males singing, one in the brush-heaps behind 
the house the other near the Peaslee Brook. 
“ 26. 
' A male among fallen tree-tops behind the house elu¬ 
ded mo in the most provoking manner; creeping about like 
a Wren among the debris. Sometimes he would appear 
v^ithin a fev/ yards of me, disappearing almost instantly, 
aand when next seen v/ould bo perhaps forty or fifty 
yards away. His gait v/as distinctly a “hop” but in 
other lespects he resembled the Connecticut Warbler, os— 
' pQcially in flight and in attitude when perched. 
June 8. 
Nest with four fresh eggs among wild raspberry bush¬ 
es in pasture on Upton Hill. Nest raised a few inches 
above the ground among the surrounding stems; female 
‘ sitting. This nest was brought to mo by Oscar Morse 
v/ho described the female accurately, and when shov/n a 
number of Warblers od different species, unhesitatingly 
picked out a female Mourning Warbler from among the other 
Skins as being the bird in question.
