Note 1.—(See Table) A small flock, five or six, of Golden-crowned 
Kinglets were seen regularly among the evergreens in the cemetery 
until January 9th. They withstood sub-zero weather in December. 
The week following January 9th brought cold weather again which 
culminated in a driving snow storm on January 16th, with a tem- 
perature about twelve degrees below zero and a forty-mile gale. 
The Kinglets disappeared. Whether they perished in the storm 
or were forced to migrate, there is no way to tell. It is significant 
to note that the Brown Creepers, the Slate-colored Juncoes, and 
the Tufted Titmouse, survived the storm and spent the rest of 
the winter here. 
Note 2.—The Tufted Titmouse is very rare in this state. 
So far as the writer has been able to ascertain, this is the fifth 
published record of the Tufted Titmouse in Minnesota. The 
four preceding records are found in the “‘ Review of the Ornithology 
of Minnesota,’ by T. S. Roberts, Professor of Ornithology and 
Curator of the Zoological Museum in the University of Minnesota. 
(Published May, 1919. See. p. 25.) The four are all winter records 
of single individuals, and in three out of the four cases the bird was 
seen with Black-capped Chickadees. Strange enough, our visitor 
this winter brought along none of his relatives and he was invariably 
found keeping company with the Chickadees. Correspondence 
with Professor Roberts has brought out his confident opinion that 
the Tufted Titmouse will soon be found nesting in Southern Minne- 
sota. It is generally resident wherever found.
