Loxia leucoptera. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1887. Just after breakfast (at Lakeside) shot three Loxia leu- Sept.21. coptera in the balm-of-gilead poplar in front of the house. Two of them were females which had barely finished incubating the breast and abdomen being bare and slightly wrinkled. The male had the testes of half size. Sept.22. Just behind West's I saw this morning a small flock of Loxia americana among which were two L.leucoptera. They were crowded crewed together on a piece of bare ground where they were apparently picking at the sandy soil. Sept.26. White-winged Crossbills yesterday, one of them alighting on a lump of mud in the middle of the river (Cambridge River). Oxford Co., Maine. 1899. Sept.23th, 26th, 27th, Bethel. Under date of Sept.26th I Sept.22 wrote in my diary: "The country is flooded with Crossbills of to Oct.4. both species. I see or hear them almost hourly. L.minor is the more abundant of the two."
