 "Many years ago while residing at Henderson in 

 Kentucky, I had one of these birds brought to nie 

 which had been caught by hand, and was nearly 

 putrid when I got it. The person who presented 

 it to me had caught it in the barrens, ten or twelve 

 miles fi-om Henderson, late in October, after a 

 succession of white frosts, and had kept it more 

 than a week."
