Tufted Titmouse in Northern New Jersey 



In the May -June issue of Bird-Lork, 

 a note appears recorciing the Tufted Tit- 

 mouse from Pine Brook, X. J. It may be 

 of interest to Bird-Lore's readers to 

 know that the bird is tolerably common 

 in this neighborhood in winter, and oc- 

 casionally in summer. I have it recorded 

 in January, February, March, April and 

 May, 1908; May and August. iQoq; 

 March and April igio. — Is.vbel McC.

A Late Pine Siskin 



June 17, 1910, I saw, and positively 

 identified, a Pine Siskin, in a row of apple 

 trees near our house. This species was 

 entirely absent here last winter, as were 

 also the Redpolls and Crossbills. This 

 is the first time that I have known the 

 Siskin to be here in summer. — L. Henry 

 Potter, Clarendon, VI. 



A Hummingbird Guest 



While visiting a friend who had spent 

 the summer in Colorado, the enclosed 

 picture was shown me, and these brief 

 facts told. "We arrived at the 'Broad- 

 moor' late in July, and the very first 

 morning were taken out to see the nest 

 of a Hummingbird built over an electric 

 light in the north gallery of the hotel. 

 The guests in the hotel had been very 

 solicitous about the little mother's wel- 

 fare, as soon as it was discovered that she 

 was really determined to build her nest in 

 so unusual a place. When she began to 

 remain on the nest at night, they begged 

 that the light should be turned off early, 

 so the heat might not destroy the eggs.

to do so without disturbing them, a 

 mirror was put into requisition. Held at 

 the proper angle we could see the cunning 

 nest and two poor little featherless crea- 

 tures whose only sign of life, at first, was 

 the opening of mouths that seemed to 

 bear no relation whatever to the size 

 of the bodies they belonged to. Days 

 passed, feathers came out, and at last, 

 one morning, when our visit was made, 

 nothing remained but the birth-place of 

 the smallest atoms I ever saw that could 

 be called birds." — Mrs. M. L. Stephen- 

 son, Helena. Ark.
