This morning I went over in T. Hacketts 
woods. There were a number of male Y/ilson's 
thrushes here and all were singing. I had 
supposed them to be olive-backs. The song was 
a flute like note repeated rapidly so as to 
run it together. They answered each other from 
a ll parts of the v/oods. The mosquitoe bother-

sscape them, a thrush was near me singing but 
because of the leaves I could not see it for 
some time. Finally it shifted its perch and 1

It was made of sheep's wool and birch bark, a 
very pretty combination. As she did not come 
back I followed her up and saw the male singing 
° n a dead limb. Then I caught sight of the fe- 
standing motionless by the nest with a 
g beak full of wool. I stood still for some 
time but as she did not move I walked off. A 
ttle later she flew up accompanied by her mate 
and went to the nest. There she pulled it around 
and arranged it standing on the brim. It took
