LATE ACTIVITY OF PICKERING'S HYLA. 



On December 7, 1913, at Plainfield, N. J., I 



heard three Pickering's Hylas giving their clear, 



Spring whistle in different parts of the woods. The 



day, like the preceding, was unseasonably warm 



(temperature 54° F. at 11:45 A. M.) and rainy, and 



the woods very wet.
