Watertown, Mass. 51 1872 March 4, 8 in his accustomed place in the Cemetery with a large flock Cyanus cristata, a few hundred yards off mimicking the sounds of his cousin (B. Linatura; as frightened at my approach he took flight and sailed over the busy throng, the screams were followed with a taunting and slightly mocking inflection. Through the infiltration was very perfect. On "the farm," found a very large flock of St. cedronum fifty or more, and a company of about a dozen Turdus migratorius; saw members of native birds of the latter species at different points, and heard a 3 practising the singing song on a faint warbling tone; saw also Caloptilus curavus and the very frequent Parus atricapillus. Killed a dozen St. cedronum at a shot and a single Parus atricapillus, and got back to the house by 9.30; of the farm only then possessed the paper apparatus on the wings. Mar. 8 After coming out from the city went up on "the farm." Found a flock of Amygdi ad. and about twenty J. migratorius on the cypress bud and that one of the latter, a 9 Papus pubescens and a 9 Parus atricapillus; all the both taken this winter, are very pale. Coming home through the country came across a Colirio orbatia, that was feeding on an Aridaula simplex; and upon firing a long shot at him he dropped it; in flying he carried it in his bill with his head slouched forward as though he found it a heavy burden. Afterwards fired another shot but knew not for some unaccountable reason aimed. Got home by dark with them birds.
