Birds of Lewiston-Auburn 59 



117. (387) YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO 



A very rare summer resident. This species, whose 

 natural habitat is farther south, I have never seen but it 

 has been known to nest in this vicinity. 



REMARKS 



There has been one report of the Bohemian Waxwing. As 

 it is a winter rover of uncertain habits, it may be found and it 

 may never be seen again. There have been reports of its casual 

 appearance in other parts of the State, especially near Bangor. 



The Canada Jay has been taken in Sumner, Maine, and has 

 been seen nearer this vicinity. To my knowledge there is no 

 record of its being found about Lewiston or Auburn. 



There have been several reports of the Orchard Oriole and 

 once I thought I saw a two-year-old male. I have not been able 

 to get sufficient proof of its identity to include it in my catalogue.
