Spinus pinus. 1889. PINE LINNET. I. Umbagog, Maine. copy r A few solitary birds were observed in September, but no flocks until Oct. 4th., after which they were seen almost daily, some of the flocks containing upwards of one hundred birds each. They were feeding exclusively on the seeds of birches. They were tame, but restless, flying a great deal. Like the Red Poles, when in large flocks, they flew in very compact order. On one occasion, in October, I heard the peculiar, trilling note which I have always considered one of the songs of this species. Lake Umbagog, Me. Sept. & Oct. 1893.
