OUR WINTER BIRDS O5 
of the Snowflake, a snow-loving species. True, these birds are 
erratic in their movements and may avoid certain localities al- 
together. But a more favorable winter for the appearance of 
this species has seldom been known. ‘The writer was, therefore, 
greatly disappointed in not finding a flock of Snowflakes. 
The Chickadee, as usual, was conspicuous by his absence, 
not one individual having been seen during the entire winter. 
The Hairy Woodpecker, Northern Shrike and Bobwhite also were 
neither seen nor heard.
