Audubon treated the first as a summer resident of the Florida Keys, 

 and implied the same to be true of the latter species. His use

Meadowlarks in Skowhegan. — The Lark has been a reg-

 formed, so that last summer the sweet, reedy whistle of the bird 

 could be heard from the fields quite frequently. I knew of four dif-

 bird life. The Brown Thrasher and Rose-breasted Grosbeak, both 

 rare visitors with us, nested h^v^.—HattieB. Fogler, Skozvhegan, Me.
