I cannot say. Similar congregations of bees and wasps are 

 often noticed about public urinals in the country.

70. Fox-colored Sparrow. Zonotrichia iliaca, Merr. 



71. Sonf Sparrow. Zonotrichia melodia, Wils. 



72. White-throated Sparrow. Zonotrichia albicoUis, Gmel. 

 This bird is very abundant. Its beautiful and plaintive notes 

 may be musically represented as follows : — 



as to interval and time in a flat key ; this should be written two 

 octaves above, and the fourth interval (E flat) should be what is 

 called a " flat fourth ; " sometimes the first two notes only are 

 heai'd, at others, from one to the four triplets in addition ; instead 

 of the triplets, an equivalent single note is often given for one or 

 more of thera. I have heard its sweet song at all hours of the 

 day and night in the spring and summer.

83. White-winged Crossbill. Loxia leucoptera, Gmel. The 

 former of these crossbills occurs in large flocks during most of the 

 winter, hopping about the houses with the familiarity of chipping 

 sparrows. The white-winged species I have not seen ; but I am 

 confident it is found here.
