graph. Their note is a squeeky and nasal "twee- 

 twee-nee." It is often given while in flight. 



CAROLINA CHICKADEE. The notes of the Car- 

 olina Chickadee are 

 similar to those of the Chickadee, but the "Chick-a- 

 dee-dee" note is higher pitched. In the whistle of the 

 Carolina, two, three, five or six notes are given, whereas 

 wherever I have heard the Chickadee I have heard 

 but two. The calls of the Carolina are a sharp "chip" 

 which is a flight note and a "tee-tee-tee" uttered very 

 fast and closely connected and followed by a buzzing 

 "che-che-che." In 1915 the first date on which it 

 was heard was January 29th. 



TUFTED TITMOUSE. The calls of the Titmouse 



are a "peto - peto - peto - 

 peto," with the accent either on the "pe" or on the 

 "to," though the former is the most frequent; a "peto- 

 etu-etu-etu-etu-etu-" given rapidly with the accent on 

 the "pe" and on the "e;" a chattering call given while 

 perching and with the neck outstretched, and a 

 "chick-a-dee-dee' note similar to that of the Chicka- 

 dee, but less distinct. 



HERMIT THRUSH. I observed the Hermit 



Thrush feeding on the ber- 

 ries of a cultivated Asiatic variety of Privet (Ligus- 

 trum sp.?) . 



BLUEBIRD. The Bluebird also ate these berries. 

 During 1912 it was common in Feb- 

 ruary, but rare in March and April. In 191,5, it was 

 most frequent in early April.
