This bird is occasionally seen at Fuji, in small flocks, in the tree-tops. 
I observed it also, under similar conditions, at Chiusenji Lake. It has 
a loud, whistling note. 
A young male, collected in the latter part of August, is in the plum- 
age of the female, but differs in having the three innermost secondaries 
broadly edged with white.
