shinned, but he did not give us much time to note his colors, also 

 two larger ones sailing over the woods, having long wings and color 

 whitish as seen from below, also a flock of 14 or 15 birds, apparently 

 about the size of Pine Grosbeaks, in the spruces, but we could not 

 get near enough to identify them. They did not give the Grosbeak 

 whistle, but a sort of chattering, as they flew. 



Dec. 27th, saw 4 Chickadees, i Crow, 2 Red-breasted Nut- 

 hatches, 6 Blue Jays, i Brown Creeper, i Gull. 



Dec. 28th, saw 4 Crows, 4 Chickadees, 4 Blue Jays, i Song 

 Sparrow. A flock of 7 or 8 Pine Grosbeaks were reported a mile 

 or two below here. 



Dec. 29th, went across the river in Woolwich for an hour or 

 two, and saw only 4 Gulls and 2 Crows. A Partridge was seen 

 there earlier in the day. 



Dec. 30th, a flock of about a dozen Goldfinches flew over my 

 head here in town, near the park, with their characteristic dipping 

 flight. 



Dec. 31st, at Winnegance, saw 4 Crows, 4 Blue Jays, i Chick- 

 adee, in the morning. lyater in the day my friend saw a White- 

 breasted Nuthatch with them. 



Jan. 2nd, I saw a Golden-crowned Kinglet in the woods, get- 

 ting one good look at the top of his head as he fidgeted around in 

 the evergreens, and next day i Hairy and i Downy Woodpecker. 

 Doubtless these were in the vicinity at time of the census, but I did 

 not happen to see them in time to include on those days. 



Have only mentioned a few Gulls I happened to see in passing; 

 have not been around the river much or given them particular at- 

 tention. There are usually many more around Bath. 



Have been quite anxious to know if the Song Sparrow^ is win- 

 tering at Winnegance, and have looked in same place several times 

 since without seeing him, but he may be in the vicinity. 



The regularity of seeing Blue Jays, Chickadees, etc., at Winne- 

 gance comes from the fact that my friend puts food for them in a 

 small apple tree some teit or fifteen feet from the back window.
