The habits and general apiiearance of the two spcM-ies are very similar

Common summer resident, arriving rather late in spring but remaining 

 (inite late in the fall; sometimes present all winter. T'sually going in small 

 tlocks. Nesting late in the summer, the nest often placed on a horizontal 

 limb of .some apple tree in an orchard. 



(•(irroU Cowiiti/: December .'51. 1.S78. observed: February 27, 1879. a large 

 tlock seen in an orchard feeding on frozen apples that were still hanging 

 on the trees: many were seen again on March 1 and 5, feeding in hack- 

 berry trees in Deer Creek bottoms east of Camden; June 20, 1882, set of 5 

 fresh eggs, nest' in an apple tree in orchard on home farm. On May 24. 1883, 

 several .seen at the drift on Wild Cat Creek above Burlington, where I had 

 noted them as being quite commf)n the summer before. They were at rest 

 and remained most of the time in some soft maples which overhang the 

 creek. P'rom these trees they would fre(iuently dart out over the creek in 

 pursuit of insects which they were (piite exiwrt in capturing. In the 

 summer of 188.'? and 1884. several nests, usually in apple trees, were foimd 

 near Burlington. During the winter of 1883-4, these birds were common
