1Two individuals of this species have been taken in New York. The first of these 
taken by Mr Albert Robson at Lowell, Oneida co., in February 1893, was very kindly 
presented to the New York state museum by Mr J. S. Allwood of Hecla Works. The 
second record, for which I am indebted to Mr Louis Agassiz Fuertes of Ithaca, is that 
of an individual taken by Mr Ezra Cornell in the township of North Elba, Essex co., 
15 Dec. 1896. This bird is now in the collection of Mr Abbott Thayer of Searboro. 
These are the first state records, though the species should occur regularly in the 
Adirondacks in winter.
