The Pine Grosbeak — much the largest of the North American 

 Frinsilliilii' — i« an irreguhir winter visitant to tlie more iiorthcni 

 portions of the State. Mr. Thos. H. Douglas, of Wimkegan, writes 

 me, under date of January '2, 1884, that, having been informed of a 

 Hock of "strange birds," which had been seen eating high-bush 

 cranberries, he, the next day saw from his room a small llock 

 Hying by, which proved to be this species. He adds: "They are 

 more shy tluin tiic Evening Grosbeak, as a shot will generally scare 

 them out of sight."
