The Hawfinch is described in most of our Ornithologi- 

 cal works as an accidental visiter, appearing only in winter ; 

 but the increased attention bestowed upon the various 

 branches of Natural History within the last few years, and 

 the interest attached to an investigation of the habits of 

 birds in particular, has led to more correct views on the sub- 

 ject ; and this bird is now ascertained to exist even in very 

 considerable numbers in many different localities, and to be 

 resident there the whole of the year.
