20 THE AMERICAN MIDLAND NATURALIST 
1910 and 1912; on 7 days in 1913; in 1911, the species did not 
appear. From these records, it will be seen that’ this Grosbeak | 
is very locally distributed. So far, I have never recorded the 
species outside of spring. 
The Loggerhead Shrike was recorded 4 times in March and 
6 times in April, 1910; once in March and twice in April, 1912; 
twice in April and once in May, 1913; making a total of 16 records. 
This shrike nests usually in hedges, in outlying districts, which 
accounts for the few records that I obtained for the species. 
The Killdeer, by its spring records, shows that it is a-rare 
species during that season. In four years, March had 18 records; 
April had 28; and May had 27; making a total of 73 records.

1910 and 1913 having together 51 records; and.1g11 and 1912 
showing only 22 records. The species is somewhat solitary during 
the nesting séason, not often visiting places distant from the 
rest.
