Field Notes 37 



PiiSTE Grosbeak at Youngstown, Ohio. 



On February 15, 1916, while at the residence of Mrs. C. E. Fel- 

 ton, Cohasset Road, near the edge of Mill Creek Park, I observed 

 a Pine Grosbeak feeding on the lawn. The same morning I saw 

 two of the same species feeding on hawthorne buds in another lo- 

 cality of the park. 



The individual Pine Grosbeak has remained in the vicinity of 

 Mrs. Felton's home up to the present date. It may be interesting 

 to know that upon investigation we learned it was feeding on ash 

 seeds, which had blown on to the lawn from ash trees located in 

 the park. It also feeds on apple buds. 



This is our first definite record of the Pine Grosbeak for the vi- 

 cinity of Youngstown.

THE KENTUCKY WARBLER AT SALEM, OHIO. 



A year ago I had an article in this magazine on the " Kentucky 

 Warbler in Northern Columbiana County." Perhaps some of my 

 readers imagined that this station was the only place in the 

 county where the bird was to be found; and I thought so myself. 

 And so far as the reports of the Biological Survey show, this is 

 the only station in northeastern Ohio where it is found breeding. 



This year (1915) was the third season that I had found a breed- 

 ing pair in the same woodland, and so far the only place near 

 home where they have been found. 



But after this summer's experience and reports I do not think 

 that the Kentucky Warbler is so very rare in this county, although 

 it is still uncommon. In early June, Mr. J. F. Machwart, a Salem 

 high school teacher and bird student, found a pair at Shelton's 

 Grove, a local picnic ground five miles south of Salem. And about 

 the same time Mr. Volney Rogers, a Youngstown bird student, 

 found a bird on his brother's farm some miles east of here near 

 the state line. And on the fifth of July I spent part of the day 

 at Round Knob, five miles north of Wellsville, the highest point 

 (1447 feet) in the county. While exploring an oak wood on one of 

 its slopes I was greeted by the familiar alarm-notes of a Kentucky, 

 but I failed to get sight of the bii-d. And a couple of hours later, 

 when homeward bound and on the opposite side of the mount in 

 a dense thicket that bordered a drainage "run" I again heard the 

 familiar notes and was rewarded by getting a momentary glimpse 

 of a Kentucky Warbler; and more, for there were two birds. The 

 second, however, had no markings of black on face or head and 

 I concluded that it was one of the young from this season's brood.
