I have frequently seen the birds during the spring and early summer in dif- 

 ferent parts of the province, but always in the wild, rough country of the in- 

 terior and southern shores. 



The male during the breeding season is a delightful singer. This sum- 

 mer I heard a Pine Grosbeak vary his song with an imitation of the rollick- 

 ing notes of the Ruby-crowned Kinglet, which he performed to perfection.
