A Bohemian Wax\\ing (Aiiipelis f/airiiliis) in Ohio. — Dawson 

 says of fiis bird that tliere are no Ohio records for many years. 

 Perhaps he bases this on Wheaton's similar statement. In view of 

 this I think it may be of interest to record the following facts.. Two 

 ladies of our household, both bird students, saw and heard, on Feb- 

 ruary 2.3, a Bohemian ^\'axwing. It came into the yard near' enough 

 to the house for a close observation, so the distinguishing character- 

 istics were \'sell noted. They believe, after hearing its note, that 

 one of theai had been abo\it on the Sunday previous. [A few weeks 

 beforo a small flock of Cedar Waxwings came into a honeysuckle 

 vine by our porch and were about for a short time.] 



Judge Metcalfe, of this place, says that a few years ago a num- 

 ber of Bohemian Waxwings were about for several days.

The Black-croicned Night Heron in Ohio. — In his "The Biros of 

 Ohio," W. L. Dawson gives the range in Ohio of the Black-crowned 

 Night Heron iXycticorax vi/cHcorax rxwius, Bodd. ) as a "Not 

 conunon resident and migrant. Of local appearance only." I wish 

 to call attention to a restricted locality where it has been seen in 

 considerable numbers. It is along the Great Miami River, near 

 Troy, Miami County, Ohio. The place it most frequents is about 

 two miles southeast of Troy, and is known as Long Pond. This 

 Long Pond is probably an ox-bow loop formation. Immediately be- 

 low this is a low island which is very difficultly accessible. This 

 whole vicinity is rather secluded, and forms an ideal place for 

 these birds. 



Two adults were seen here in September, 1905. An immature 

 female was killed near here on Octiber 11, 1005, by W. A. Haines. 

 It was mounted, and is now in the Troy High School taxidermy 

 collection. About twenty-five birds, mostly immature, were seen 

 here at one time in August, 190G. An immature female was killed 

 here on August 2i, 1906. by Raymond Boiler. It was mounted, and 

 is now in the collection in the Sidney, Ohio, Public Library. An 

 adult specimen was taken near here in the autumn of 1907. It 

 was mounted, and is now in the Troy High School collection. Other 

 specimens were taken, but these will suffice.
