CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 403 
I met with a young male, 1 had only heard of two or three of 
this species having been observed as far east as Toronto. On igth 
May, 1900, I met with a pair and took a male of second year ; 
and for the following week or two saw one or more almost daily. 
On July 5th I located a pair nesting and am pleased to say that 
they were not molested. I think this is the first recorded instance 
of nesting in this locality ; but I believe an occasional nest is 
found near Oakville. I trust to be able to record the arrival of 
these birds in increasing numbers each succeeding year. 
(J. Hughes-Samuel.) Quite common in the three western counties 
of Ontario but only occasionally observed near London, and not

One specimen was taken early in June at Pembina, the only 
locality where observed. (Coves.)
