Middlesex Co., Mass. 46 MASS. (Middlesex Co.) 1874. Nov. 26 Clear & Still. Went to Andover for the day. R. Dean & C. Baxter tried the grail in Belmont & shot 3. O. also shot a B Taurus lentigiosus and saw a single Pinicola enucleator. Two of the latter bird was shot at Byrm by Godale about two weeks ago. Nov. 30 Clear but windy and cold. Went up on the farm collecting in the forenoon and took the following: Sitta Cana. 2, Pinicola enucleator 2 (1 adt.) Sitta Cana. Paserilla iliaca 2 (6 & 9) Saxacora albicula and two Blue Jays. Also members of C. tristi. Found the grosbeaks quite abundant and observed several flocks containing a dozin or more individuals. Saw also a small flock of Orew. Am. Have seen no C. lucifera this season though Godale has had moral sent in from Conn. Barns atricap, Certhia Cana. & Regulus satapa fairly (warm) this season. Of the latter species I must have seen 80 today. The Sitta Cana. was in a large flock of the three last named species & as I am convinced the same bird seen on this place on the 9th inst. The grosbeaks are quite tame though scatter in disposition. I have no difficulty in calling a flock down from the air by an imitation of their familiar chirish. Some of this low sorts are very ventrilogist in character. I think they feed on the seeds in the whist pine cone though preferring the cedar brin.
