Visited the nest found Juno 11 in tho woods bordor- 
ing Sandy Pond; it v/as hung in a forJi of the topmost 
twig in a white pino sapling about five feet high. 
On the 11th the male was at v/ork building it, and to-day 
to my surprise, he v/as sitting on the eggs I almost * 
touched him before he started off. --he alighted in an 
oak near by and at once began to sing superbly, continu¬ 
ing hxs strain without intermission during the time occu¬ 
pied in packing the eggs, and even long after I had loft 
tho woods. I did not see tho female at all on this 
occasion although she v/as v/ith the male on the 11th;
