Mr. L. W. Newell reports that he has in his 

 possession for mounting two Evening Gros- 

 beaks, taken from a large liock at Reading, 

 Mass., on April 7, ISOC, by Mr. Chas. A. Loring, 

 manager of the N. E. Newspaper Union. Our 

 northern visitors are making us a prolonged 

 visit. 



IN XKW YOIJK. 



This time at Ballston Spa, N.Y., where 

 three (;^) fine $ specimens were seen by myself. 

 It registered 27° above, and there were tliree 

 inches of snow on the ground. When first 

 seen they were picking up sand, etc., on a bare 

 bit of ground, but soon took wing and alighted 

 in a maple near, but before I could step into 

 the ]u>use for my gun, liad departed for parts 

 unknown, thus foiling me in my attempt to 

 secure n si)ecimcu. .S. 7?. Tiii/erxoll.

IN .JOKDAN, <)N()NI)AG.\ CO., N.Y. 



On February 11th, wliile in Jordan, N.Y., a 



peculiar looking bird Hew and lit almost over 



my head. A second glance showed to me that 



it was a 9 Evening Grosbeak. I sent a boy 



after a shot-gun and I watched the bird. She 



seemed very tame, as I stood within twenty 



feet of her all the time the boy was gone. But 



luck was against me, and the boy could not 



get a gun, and I had to go and get the gun 



and leave the boy to watch the bird. Well, to 



make the story short, while 1 was after the 



gun, the buss witii bells on their horses went 



lumbering along under my bird, bound for 



depot to meet the next train, and my bird, the 



boy said, "took a sneak towards the other side 



of (the village). Jordan" ; and in a diligent search 



of three hours I failed to discover her. But as 



there are plenty of birge Norway s])ruce and 



other evergreen trees in the village, a bird of 



that size and their habits, during the middle 



of the day, would have been easily overlooked. 



I have skins in my cabinet of $ and 9 <^f *l'i'* 



species, and am positive as to the identity.
