DELAWARE VALLEY ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB. 63 



Mr. Day submits the following notes on the flock of 25 to 35 

 observed by him. The}^ were running rapidh' about on the 

 snow-crust feeding from the surface and flying uj) a foot or two 

 to pick at a dead reed. Their tracks were long in the lightly 

 drifted snow on the crust. On the ground they were perfectly 

 silent but as they rose on the wing all together they uttered a 

 musical vibrating peent, and circled about a moment, quickly 

 alighting again. At last they took a final flight, disappearing 

 through the trees, not settling on them, into the Wissahickon 

 valley. Their chief characteristic of movement seemed to be 

 agility. They ran about in the liveliest way and half jumped, 

 half flew up at dried seeds a foot or so above the snow.
