THE WREN. 21 
Two Rough-legged Hawks were seen at Ipswich on February 22 
by Barron Brainerd and Joseph Kittredge, Jr. 
A Snowy Owl was seen near the life saving station at Nahant 
for several days up to February 22. 
_ On February 27 R. M. Marble, Barron Brainerd and J. L. 
Peters saw a fine male Cardinal at Ipswich. Later Messrs. Brainerd 
and Peters found a Carolina Wren near the same place. Both 
these birds were discovered by Dr. C. W. Townsend nearly a month 
before. Two Rough-legged Hawks, probably the same ones 
reported the 22nd, were seen. 
Joseph Kittredge, Jr., and H. G. Morse saw a Rough-legged 
Hawk and five Black-crowned Night Herons, all in the brown 
plumage at Cohasset on February 27. 
Six Horned Larks flew over Franklin Park on February 28. 
They are the first that have ever been seen there. 
February 28 J. L. Peters, B. Brainerd, C. Schweinfurth, and C. 
Morris saw a Shrike, which had been watching from the top of an 
oak, suddenly swoop down upon a bush in which the Mockingbird 
was perched. ‘The latter uttered a cry of alarm and flew out of the 
bush, the shrike making no attempt at pursuit. It seems to be the 
experience of most people to find Shrikes and Nuorecinig eines on 
rather friendly relations. 
NESTING OF THE JUNCO AT CRAWFORD, N. H. 
THE Crawford House stands in the heart of the White Mountains 
at an altitude of 1920 feet above sea level. The hotel is in a clear- 
ing of about sixty acres, surrounded on all sides by a wilderness, 
most of which is primeval. In this locality I have observed the 
birds for several seasons, from late June to late September, always 
with the intention of noticing interesting facts concerning them. 
The Junco I find is by far the commonest bird here and conse- 
quently I have found many of their nests. 
One day I had occasion to hunt for a golf ball under the station 
platform and there, greatly to my surprise, I found a Junco’s nest 
contaiming four young birds. ‘This nest was not more than four 
feet from the railroad track where numerous trains pass daily and 
where freight is shifted. ‘The rumbling of the trains, and the
