The bird noted above (it was doubtless the same bird on each date) was the only individual seen or heard this year.
In a case of mounted birds on the list at Colebrook N.H. was a & Tanagra in the yellowish phase.
All of the dozen or more other birds in this case were typical common to the region & no doubt the Tanagra was a local specimen, also. The work was done evidently that by some country taxidermist.
