Excerpt from book: day's collection included several males of this beautiful species. At that early date for warbler nidification, a pair was observe diligently caring for the wants of their young in a nest in a large pine, far out toward the extremity of a long horizontal branch; and as late as July 2 a nest was found containing young birds recently hatched. The finding of the first nest with eggs of this interesting warbler was an event which I recall with pleasure. Like many good finds of the collector, it was by the rarest fortune that this one habitation of Dendroica auduboni was taken, for though the swampy area was thoroughly searched, no other nest of this species rewarded our eager quest; however, another nest with young birds was found in a different locality several days later.

The prize proved to be a female of Dendroica auduboni, and I was not long in ascending to the nest and securing it, with its five fresh eggs. It is needless to add that 1 was not rewarded so happily in my quest for the nest of the g...
