FIELD NOTES. 



Additional Vernacular Names of the Flicker (Colaptes aura- 

 tus). — In Barton's Fragments of Natural History of Pennsylvania, 

 published in 1799, and now exceedingly rare, I find the following : 

 " 1 am informed that this bird is known in Maryland by the name 

 of ' Dishwasher ' ; also given the name of Flecker."

Horned Lark and Bohemian Waxwing in Middle Western 

 Ohio.- — On December 28, in very cold weather, I met a flock of six 

 Horned Larks in Shelby County, O. The birds were feeding on 

 dung in the middle of a road and allowed close approach. This is 

 my first record of Otocorys alpestris proper in this region. On 

 January 18, in a severe windstorm, I was surprised by a flock of 

 some twenty odd Bohemian Waxwing on the street on which I live 

 about one hundred feet away from the house in some cedar trees 

 and maple trees, where they, however, only rested for a few min- 

 utes. On January 22. in a howling blizzard, I saw presumably the 

 same flock out at a cemetery, a mile from town, while I was con- 

 ducting a funeral, and a neater looking flock of birds I never saw. 

 They were absolutely unsuspicious, apparently not knowing what 

 kind of a creature a man was.
