Observations at Lubec: 



I made several trips through the bird haunts during the "cen- 

 sus week," but did not secure a very large list, many of our favor- 

 ites of preceding years being absent. The summary of my trips 

 included a dozen of the Black-capped Chickadees, scattered over 

 several miles of territory; a dozen Tree Sparrows, in the open spots 

 in the woods; a dozen Golden-crowned Kinglets, in the small growth 

 woods; the regular colony of American Herring Gulls, numbering 

 about 2,000; 300 Crows, that are wintering with us; 300 Old Squaws, 

 which is an average winter number; 18 Pine Grosbeaks, which came 

 just in time to be enrolled; 20 Bohemian Waxwings, which have 

 made up in interest for all that have otherwise been missed.
